guy: i bring it up because when olaf scholz went to china he sounded like he was trying to speak for europe and it is really interesting that macron is going to d.c., schulz went to china and that just encapsulates the problem that we have at the moment. europe does not know which way to look. judy: europe is in a difficult situation and chancellor schulz's visit to china did not go down well. he went for german natural is -- interests and business interests and in lithuania has a spat with china over taiwan the germans did not support lithuania. germany is in a very difficult situation because it is in the beginning of a deep industrialization because of the russian war in ukraine and because of the energy issue and the whole impact of globalization of this and other issues. and somehow germany is clinging onto the old kind of interests while in fact it should be trying to think out-of-the-box and realize that the americans and europeans have to work closer together on trade issues and economic issues and securities and defense issues. germany went alone to china and this is a mista

olaf scholz, the chancellor of germany, to the prc, his conversation with siegelpin and china's callt 's start with the topic of mr. vitryanka, in fact, he was remembered as such. that we are talking, they issued a prescription that he could not be appointed to this position of the head of naftogaz at all, and since the last one, his adviser bought a bentley for $500,000, but after that vitrenko was fired, because it was already during a full-scale war. what do you do, sir? italy was remembered by vitrenko. it seems to me that the current head of naftogaz can't hold office from the point of view of the sunset, so nothing special changes here. and here, too, the naftogaz statute itself needs to be changed so that state officials can to head it because naftogaz, on the one hand , is allegedly a private company, on the other hand, it is not actually and therefore not a zaka and says that in principle there is no question that a person who worked in state structures heads naftogaz, the problem is that you declared naftogaz not what it is there is actually something that i just think that

rapid defeat of kiev the most a profitable option, the representative of the german chancellor olaf scholz always been on the side of ukraine. i am tempted to switch to english and say that johnson's statement is arte nonsense, that is, complete nonsense. we know that the former prime minister has always had a special relationship with the truth, and this case is no exception. attacks on the south stream prevented on the north more and more evidence that it was a cynical sabotage according to the fsb in the volgograd region , a terrorist attack on the south stream gas pipeline was prevented - this is part of an important gas transportation system for the supply of russian gas to turkey and the european union, according to the fsb, several people were detained. these are citizens of russia, but he oversaw them. uh, they were supervised by the special services. ukraine seized a large amount of explosives, magnetic mines and communications equipment also revealed the exact place where they planned to carry out an explosion, supplies to compression stations near the black sea could be at risk.

more and more often, and the president of france, manuel macron, and the chancellor of germany, olaf scholzek that they are continuing their it seems unnecessary conversations with putin and at the same time they say again that they will support us uh. but again, those negotiations that we have already negotiated are not touched anymore, why macron and scholz continue to understand all the futility of these conversations with putin they continue to talk to him. it seems to me that there are two reasons, the first is traditional in the era of any major conflicts. and now in europe, on the territory of ukraine, thanks to russian aggression, there are major conflicts with uh, very serious consequences in the future, there has never been a lack of those politicians uh, or let's just say of people of specific views who would try to end the war by means of some houses take any war in the past, including the great wars, the second world war is the closest in scale to ours today and there it was enough to try to find some opportunities to reach someone there in hitler's entourage in order to try so

civilians discussed the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi with the chancellor and chancellor olaf scholzd in the post of the head of state on twitter, among others, the situation on the battlefield zelenskyi also thanked germany for the contribution to the protection of the ukrainian sky and borders and during the conversation, they agreed on the positions the day before 20 i will remind you that it will take place on november 15-16 in indonesia on the island of bali, where the ukrainian head of state has also been invited, another exchange of prisoners ukraine freed another 45 ukrainian soldiers from russian captivity this was reported in a telegram andriy yermak, the head of the fis of the president of ukraine, posted a photo and a video and wrote that among the released soldiers and sergeants who defended our country , the bodies of two dead soldiers were returned to the main intelligence agency, adding that the soldiers were captured in the east of ukraine. these are soldiers of the 58th motorized infantry brigade named after hetman vyhovsky . and two mechanized brigades of the 53rd

to beijing this was olaf scholz's first visit to beijing as federal chancellor and the first visit to country ah. in beijing, after the 20th congress of the chinese communist party, scholz quite obviously initiated this visit in order to preserve at least some elements, at least remnants, but advantageous for germany, economic relations with china and in conditions when everything is collapsing in conditions when the west as a whole is pursuing more and more operational policy in relation to china, and especially in the context of the destruction of russian and german energy. to the attitude, since the really economic prosperity of germany was largely based on close ties with russia and close relations with china. but even on the eve of the visit, scholz published his own article in politics, where e wrote, in particular even in changing circumstances. china remains an important business and trade partner for germany and europe, we do not want to separate from it. yes, that is, he thus showed a certain opposition in the united states, that if the united states is pursuing a policy of

become clear to everyone that something is wrong, what is happening between immanuel macron and olaf-scholzionship between paris and berlin seems to have cooled sworn friends the conflict in ukraine undermined the tandem of macron and scholz, france germany 1:0 and judging only by these headlines , leading european newspapers, it became clear, and the brewing split between the irreconcilable allies of france germany is now being spoken directly and out loud, as president macron said a week ago, germany risks remaining isolated. but how did it happen what are the two key? the sides of the european union began to look askance at each other and why the schols and macrons are trying to pull the blanket over themselves in the struggle for european leadership. let's figure it out right now. there is definitely a growing split between france and germany for a variety of reasons that are related to the energy economy, defense and security. this is earl rasmus at the vice president of the eurasian center for washington dc specialists in european relations. he is sure that it is energy problems in an

olaf frold met with the chinese leader of all the bells, this was the first such a powerful visit olaf scholzijing, well, let me remind you that recently all zinken was renewed in his position, contrary to the existing constitutional restrictions in china, so to speak, so the information has already appeared. it has not yet acquired official status, so salt of the earth called, so to speak, to refrain all all of the conflict from the use of nuclear weapons on the european continent. and it reads that the salt of the earth , so to speak, specifically addressed putin with soft chinese, i don't know, a request, a warning , and so on. and let's hope that putin will hear everything dvlinkina well, despite all the reservations that now logically appear in the conditions of ukrainians, including ukrainian experts and politicians, regarding china's position, china itself obviously remains a deterrent factor, including for russia, regarding the use or non-use of nuclear weapons, and it would be childish to neglect this there is equally interesting information provided to us by cnn colleagues, accordin

olaf-scholz should have urged the us president to take into account the interests of russia before thetion in ukraine, the former finance minister said. in germany, oscar la fontaine according to him, there were opportunities for negotiations before the escalation of the conflict, and now many european leaders regret the missed opportunity ; others, however, are interested in prolonging the conflict. artyom-krasulin will tell you more. the only way to resolve the conflict in ukraine is the supply of weapons. so says nato secretary general jens, stoltenberg at a press conference in bukhara, he said long-term peace is possible only if russia does not achieve victory. under the allies assumed additional obligations within the framework of nato comprehensive assistance package for ukraine, this will fund emergency non-lethal support, including fuel generators. helping ukraine cope with the consequences of the strikes. according to their energy system, secretary general. the alliance also confirmed that there are discussions in nato about the transfer of patriot systems to the air force, ho
