when tis a harsh, a lot of snow is fallen in many households or without electricity. in paris, all in as a lens go, the wife of ukraine's president was welcomed at an international donor conference hosted by french president in monterey, and my call representatives from 70 countries and international organizations got together to try and help ukraine through a winter of russian attacks in his opening remarks, macro condemned putin's strategy in the strongest terms is if what he visit victim only strokes and we're going to cross straight over to the bonus tag. here in the capital world war german transfer all of sholtes is about to address parliament ahead of a crucial e u. audience summit. what's was name, address, and ukraine has been a shocking when it affects ukrainians most intensely for nearly 10 months. they

have been sent out of their homes, have been killed. but a turning point in history is what this russian attack on ukraine was. and tomorrow he put in brussels. we will be debating the impact of releasing the russian aggression at the ear summit really before them entitled the killer. this shows how wrong putin got it, though, put him believed that his troops would race through ukraine in a matter of days, he believed that we and ukraine in the democratic west would not be able to join forces in a manner that would really help ukraine, who believed that he could dry out solidarity in the e u by turning off the gas taps. but none of cotton's plans have come to fruition.

well, who didn't get pushed it because it in got it wrong. he underestimated the courage of ukrainians of europeans, of us, of the character of democracies and our will to protest, head, gemini and imperialism. ladies and gentlemen, that is the real story of this year. 2022. ukraine is resisting russian aggression from the at all. but so are we, we have taken on the challenge together with our friends and partners. we have supported ukraine decisively in financial, humana, italian and military when, when we are continuing to support, as long as it takes care of. and this is part of why ukrainians forces are still fighting so successfully. and because that is the case, ukraine has started massively destroying ukrainian infrastructure,

shooting old ladies and children civilians. what add up to red, full strategy, a brand dominant earthy strategy. but put in them will not win this way either because ukrainians, resolute in resisting him. and because we are supporting ukraine with everything ukraine needs in order to resist this base type of warfare. look, you do get stronger that a little bit more power generator, easy to live, and transformers are part of the r till a part of what we are offering, as well as the artillery. and the leopard tanks from germany that are helping to shoot down russian aircraft trying to bomb ukraine, dutch o. and now more than ever, it is about to them offering support for ukraine in terms of heat power and water,

which is why i am so grateful to our french colleagues, particularly am, i know my com for the solidarity conference he held yesterday. we reviewed where it was about looking at how we can improve the resilience of ukraine and keep that critical infrastructure going or restore it in the european council meeting. we'll be looking at this as well. at the same time, we are ensuring that in bits of ukraine in 2023 gets the money it needs to survive together with international partners. yours, house, it finance is offered a great deal of financial support for ukraine together with our partners for 2023, the you welder you give $18000000000.00 euros to ukraine in terms of additional funding

then included in it because it's the ukraine must have the resilience to get through this winter, so hopefully you're looking to the future. let me say, however, any one who believes that the basic values of the e u, which all e member states are committed to, can be played off against the foreign dominant and security and defense policy of the you is due to fail. ladies and gentlemen, gone to the land, working on the marshall plan for the long term restoration of e. you is making progress. in october, we had leading experts here in berlin to come up with concept pricing before the future of ukraine. now we are working to form an international donor platform to coordinate the reconstruction of ukraine the day before yesterday we met with our d 7 partners and the you, you too,

it's set vectors for this platform at the same time in g 7. and we will continue to work together worldwide to support the weakest to the boston from the impact of this war and russia using them earlier in a targeted manner as a weapon. at the same time, we are stepping up the sanction pressure on pollutants craft that follows the regime. the embargo is on what most to foil from russia is stepping this up as well . that visible sanction was against russia will continue to be maintained and we will step them up on a matching pu tins. continuing when i'm a war of aggression and ukraine was the latest gentleman of the rational flora of aggression and ukraine is a challenge for e u. cohesion household, but this challenge is one we have taken on head on and together perceived that we are strong since the 24th of february, ukraine has joined forces in an unprecedented manner and object. the german

government has worked hard on this. we have supported our partners and we have been supported by them. and this is european solidarity in the flesh probably of different trading. it was in terms of defending our freedom and security in europe. we have worked intensely in recent months here in germany and in europe, i'm dealing with in natal miles defense policy has been recalibrated, our alliance partners. no. they can depend on us. that is what they know. and so that if necessary we will defend site. every centimeter of the alliance territory. and for this we have approved a 100000000000 your special fund for the modernization of the german armed forces, the greatest fund we have had of this kind o. and we are finally tackling the problem of our armed forces and we are of them

thought life of soul contributing to u. s. f. 35 fighter aircraft and doing admit within nato young this year. and the next 2 years, we will have blown school for 70000 soldiers before the nato rapid response for us who am in 2023. the we will take on the leadership of the rapid response force and to 2023. we will have 30000 soldiers permanently available for nato that will help it. and this will archive. we are present in slovakia with air force and they both talk armed forces as well as well as in estonia and our navy presence in the baltic sea is bolstered as well. and in lithuania, we have supported the force present there. and as a result of defending the entire baltic mines of not being states together with not

norway, and under other states, we are supporting and protecting critical infrastructure onshore and offshore. in 3 months ago, i was in prague and i suggested that we set up an antique missile defense shield to increased european capabilities within nato. and this is all good is good that there are 15 partners who have already joined our initiative. with that, the amended is also good. then in the e u, we have decided that are partners as well as why particularly ukraine will continue to get support from a piece facility last month to all of these measures. don't just strengthen just security and our friends and allies, they insure our own security as well. we are all of these measures bolster the trust of all of our partners in our willingness to take on responsibility within reliance. and we set this course on the 24th of february and have pursued it

since them steadfastly. when gotten old, ladies and gentlemen, boards and all europe's security also means euro energy security. there is no other sector where we have made so much progress so fast to provide us with or nothing. proof is more clearly than just the opening of the 1st, the liquid gas terminal in your body. bravo. if it's half and one, yes, we started building it in july and this 1st l n g terminal is now ready to go online. to need the what, what it does is to hit me last week. the 1st l n g ship will be arriving in the port. i have been announcing this for months and for months people have looked at me just saying what this year. that'll be both. that's never going to work that

up for wouldn't help loading your protein. and presumably vladimir putin thought the same does is 1st of all, but or the least it didn't, could get finished. and the next terminals are happening in lieu mean an inch data long and splitter, and i think i speak before all of us, or at least for nearly all of us in this parliament when i say thank you to all of the workers of the engineers, simple to be who work so fast to achieve this amazing project. so quickly, lena had done that and you may want to thank you for the fact that we will get through this winter well together. remember your new represent millions of citizens in our country who are just getting down to work and expressing cohesion, working hard to ensure that we get through this winter together hid on,

hidden from him and every single one of you. all that matters. i relieved package is a 200000000000 defense protection in bonus. will you against russian aggression means that we are doing everything we can to ease the burden on our citizens. and our company's was all come and this is the way that we will get through these trouble times together. it is the only way forward minded that modem, ladies and gentlemen, combines them in altogether means together in europe as well as like never before. we have worked so closely together in the energy or via harmless stop transition as video horns. and we have agreed on your mind using the burden of the increased power prices will also work to put on procurement for gas so that we can fill our reservoirs next year to that. one thing is clear,

there is no quick fix here eyes. i'm glad we cannot intervene in the prices to the extent that there's not enough gas for being brought to billiards and this isn't, i guess some light. i got the cut on the energy counsel in the e u that began its work yesterday on this issue. and i'm sure that if we stay pragmatic, we will achieve good results. you wanted a model, ladies and gentlemen, lindsay of ice, they put in another way to go more pu tins. war has accelerated, necessary change. nike fuller. i transition at to renewable energy against the german government was in favor of this since it was frontier, but we don't just need renewable energy because of the climate crisis. we need it for our own security so that we are never again too dependent on power. hope and fossil fuel to deliveries, and this is why we are working to achieve a 0 carbon europe and we're making progress more quickly. as a result of this,

he lamented as many elements of the package getting 55 of the e u r. c, l being negotiated for it, we are advocating ambitious target is the goal for a courageous or jump into the next, the euro, r e u industrial history, where we have a 0 carbon, more in technology, creating new prosperity on this basis. the ladies and gentlemen lived in the process of a new enlargement. putin has actually accelerated things as well. ukraine, moselle, enjoy jazz. what would it have opened up every i'm individual feeder negotiations to accession, but the accession process of the western balcony has been stapled up as well. and this is something that is particularly close to my heart from the berlin processed summit on the 3rd of november. and the chancellor is unheard, showed that conflicts of the past as with sense again and again are not over but

can be overcome. progress towards becoming an e u. membership is possible. and this assessment was one that i announced into rana at the western balconies summit. as well, and i will continue to an energetic, re push for this tomorrow at the e u summit and next year as well. and it isn't right and good that bosnia herzegovina this week has become an e, you accession counted as well. it is it very much in germany's interest as well as on europe interests that the western balkans become part of the european union and also linked to some of them aggressive as well. and it is also in our international vege that croatia from 2023 will be part of the shannon area and it's in our interests that romania and bulgaria follow on. their footsteps soon

does not make you must it a but there hasn't been done yet. civic life, but we must make progress along the flag motel. ladies and gentlemen, a few tears warm for globally. he has also accelerated wanted yonder, many questions that we had about europe. mister royal, globally, as it was, i will be going now to the lou as ian or some apps you'll show today, it will be the 1st thought about meeting of the e u. an ad lion hunt, he'd say, leaders in this constellation and we'll together the tenure and as the countries have an enormous population and we have 450000000 here in europe. and i know people are just imagine a divided polar era in which everything is just about the lesson. china for this is completely missing. the reality of the world are naturally life. we cannot question that the u. s. he plays an important role. and naturally there's

a big rivalry between us and china, appear in the court and minds. a part of the u. s. shares many values with you as well. it's like this is shelly once again, just how crucial the trans atlantic partnership in this use different incident. it's inspired me naturally. there are differences in certain views on the u. s. investments and climate for protection has contributed, was significantly to transforming our u. s. economy munger bills and we have to say for a very long time, we would have liked to have seen the u. s. as he both pursuing this law before they actually did put up for him. but still they mustn't preventive suits the fair competition. jo and this is why very much supported the european commission is which are the conducting and tennis. god talks president with the you s. i have had

these conversations with the person. and so also highlighted the french leadership because we cannot allow ourselves to be divided in our trans atlantic, like michelle instead of a major conflict. but we need to work more closely together with one another to ensure common fair trade with when i'm with him, he knows ladies and gentlemen, just under the same as rise to a worked power is a fact and we need by suicide. engage with it. it would be wrong to think that we should delete couple or as with a mission and any other approach that wouldn't be the right way. uh huh. as an economic partner, china remains important, fires, london, and there'll be many global issues that we need to discuss with china, particularly where we have different view by members. who could sheila, when i visited china, recently, just thought i made it clear that germany and europe wanted international oregon

based on girls anchored up in the u. n. charter. all righty. hartsville are concerned about the uncertainty in the south china seas, and the straight to taiwan are things that i found the way he no uncertain terms. and this was important, obviously, about from the law. but it was also important that president shield that president . she and myself agreed on why decisive point. we agree like the door with that even threatening will solice where the deploy of nuclear weapons is on october, not impossible, and yet got it. using nuclear weapons would cross a line in the sand that humanity has drawn for a very good reason. to talk with dusty vic law, i very much ho and is on the board that this will clear message we sent out together out. it was heard in moscow, westland hodges, with megalomania, im gets and skipped imperialism. russia is very much isolated at the g 20

summit. this was particularly clear, ladies and gentlemen yonder that the world in the 21st century is unlawful. hello, world and tackling the major question, is that digitally 0? biodiversity yields in that digitization climate change. man. brandon makes means we must join forces. it's not just about diversifying what our supply chains. it's about our connections and ties to all corners of the earth for the process we need to close, but it also didn't, but relationships and africa, emerging economies in latin america, the caribbean asia and africa, which is why adduce of settling at summit stop in and my we invited important leaders of the global south finished decent yard and this is wow, this year i went to countries like your pit now singapore of japan, indonesia, south africa, niger,

premier minister and seneca. this is why i invited for president mo deals kazama to come as well, even presidential. and this is why we used the entire g 7 to found for a cooperative or climate club in order to tackle climate change together, forwarded your actual schools up. cuz then shop it is gives even unpacked is of the good news. let's look at the end of our president seed. that the g 7 has approved this climate club. we initiated with snow white to respond to again, we will quickly be approaching mother states as well. so that they climate club can become even more powerful in combat on climate change. ladies and gentlemen, demand lighted josie, aunt austin. no one is suffering from russia's way of aggression like ukrainians. and we stand with them

when stored was appointed merchants begin non their household, germany as well. putins were, has created enormous challenges. these challenges we have tackling, applying some good work together. we have grown stronger in tackling these challenges and those who did not believe that we can do it by just they got it completely run. so that's the good news is that the end of this was the 10 year. and that hasn't dodge make as artistic. they stick together in germany. we have set the right course. we, madam, i'll hold together and no one can divide us. and if you just joining us, we been listening to german chancellor. allah fall to addressing parliament here in berlin, ahead of the e u summit. the e is going to be holding a joint summit with the association of southeast asian nations as yon are in his

address to parliament. sher sholtes talked a lot about ukraine. he said that putin got it wrong in ukraine. he underestimated the will of he said, the protein underestimated will europe and ukraine to resist russian aggression. and he insisted that protein will not when he noted that our efforts by the e u and the g 7 countries to support ukrainian. resilience will continue. he did acknowledge, however, that the war has been a challenge for european unity ah, but the war has also accelerated, the energy transition he said towards the 0 carbon future, and it's also accelerated enlargement mentioning our membership prospect, ukraine, moldova, and the western vulcans on transatlantic relations he noted that the partnership is still crucial, very important to what calling for fair trade in light of the inflation reduction

act, which is raised in la protection ery protectionist concerns are for our political correspondent need a, has a, has been following that speech and joint just now from the bonus tag, nina, your reactions well, i mean, it is a all, almost a traditional ritual for the german chancellor. her whole big speech ahead of big use summits. and of course, we'll have shots is traveling to brussels and there are 2 very important some, it's coming up in brussels, the u. r. a z n summit to day. and then the meeting of the you leaders to morrow. and these speech is that the german chancellor then gives our always an opportunity to hear it from the horses mouth if you will, just what he things where germany is standing and what their strategic visions are . so this was important and it was an important message by all of shots to european leaders saying germany does stand by ukraine and is willing to sacrifice some of

its own projects for support of ukraine. also m. he expects a long discussion about and the right instrument, just how to bring energy prices down. so that was clearly a message to european leaders. but in many ways, all of choice just took score of what he thinks he has achieved during this 1st year in office. which of course has been many people. even his critics acknowledge the most difficult. first year a german chancellor has had since the end of the 2nd world war. so he outlined many of the projects that have come under way. and he also, like you said, an acknowledged that yes, germany is also facing difficulties and this was a message also to german voters because there is a growing sentiment here that yes, we do need to support ukraine. but of course high energy prices are very much something that many people are becoming increasingly concerned about him. as you say, nina, this is a pretty standard set piece of, of

a speech that the transfer of germany addresses parliament just before a key. you summer that did did shall say anything that we really haven't heard before. anything new coming out today. i believe it is something where you essentially get it in a nutshell from himself. i mean, it all the projects that he described a very much something that we have heard of before. but he highlighted, for example, that the climate club that didn't get much media coverage, for example, that he's been pushing for for several months now. that that has now been agreed by the g 7. and it's these instruments in it. it's typical or left shot style. he works on something behind the scenes. these things don't necessarily get much coverage, but he then can say that he did get things done. the same goes for the ellen g terminals. he said himself in his speech that nobody expected germany to be able to .
