fence? so i expect unless we agree to read or boulder efforts to invest more. there is a new sense of urgency because we cannot take peace for granted. and a short while ago german chancellor sholtes addressed parliament on the ukraine war . mister schultz has said sanctions against russia were beginning to work and would be increased. he also said ukrainian refugees are welcome. in germany. schultz opened his speech with an expression of solidarity with ukraine. yeah. last week the we had to president to lensky speaking to us here in the parliament. and he said, it is hard to keep going it without the support of the world. this observatory to god, i am telling you crane that they can rely on our subordinate kansas on that hipaa felisa. but there is no consensus on what the support could look like to be

a while. shells reiterated that germany will not support enforcing a no fly zone for a minister babbled defendant. the arms deliveries to ukraine. isn't i not if we're one of the biggest suppliers of arms in this situation, that is not something that makes us pride, but that is what we have to do now to help me crane. and we're doing all this because we just don't have a lot of arms that we can supply ourselves. we are in contact with companies to push so that more deliveries are possible to know concerns about importing russian oil and gas. we're also address in today's session though, charles said that europe would end its energy dependence and russia, but also called for caution. when did i molten? if i had sent in victory, ladies and gentlemen, our dependence on oil and gas from russia has grown over decades. we want to end this dependency as soon as possible, lucian, able to do that quickly, would want germany and europe into recession are often i'm not thousands of jobs

would be in danger. and it's, and many industries that would be on the brink of collapse. johnson industry, it's like it stood enough to keep it. this year's budget debate is marked not only by the war in ukraine, but also by the consequences of the coven. 19 pandemic challenges that according to tense, that will of sholtes can only be tackled on an international level. now in other news, corona virus cases are at record levels. even as germany begins phasing out the last of its restrictions nationwide. the countries present hung about their stein meyer is among those who tested positive. he and his wife are now quarantining. while the world health organization says several european nations are being too rash in scrapping restrictions only to see arise in infections. the death rate is down, but more people than ever are l including much needed health care workers that did that. i think it's another hectic day at this clinic in the gym and city of hanover
