let's talk about olaf scholz and germany.krugman wrote a piece earlier on accusing germany of being putin's enabler. is that fair? andrew: the german relationship with russia for a long time has been dependent on energy purchases. germany is the largest consumer of russian gas in europe, and is continuing to pay russia for its energy supplies. as we see these terrible scenes coming out of bucha and other places in ukraine. as long as germany and other places of europe keep up that energy relationship, it is continuing to fund the war effort. i do think that is a fair criticism. kailey: even if germany were to act, we are going to stop importing russian gas, how much does that make a material difference in the conflict in the near term? andrew: this is the challenge. it will take germany a long time to shift away from russian gas supplies. there is certainly a dependency on russia to power german industries. it will not happen overnight. the effect of this decision to move away from hydrocarbon imports from russia is something

cannot scholz.remove and the political position is actively preparing the ground for drastic changes. next week, the christian democrats are going to submit a draft resolution to the bundestag, the adoption of which will actually mean that he distrusts scholz there is a clear parliamentary majority on the supply of weapons to ukraine, the greens and the fdp are clearly in favor of the party with the dpg, there are also clear voices for the supplies heavy weapons. opposition. he's been talking about this for several weeks now. we can only and because he does not hear the arguments in the cdu, they probably somewhat exaggerate the willingness of the parliament to support their initiative, but if the resolution still passes, the chancellor can resign among those who will undoubtedly be pleased by the ukrainian ambassador melnyk, who roams on television and newspaper pages demanding more guns more money complaining about scholz. and in general, all the social democrats, so that melnik does not carry him

for example, germany and chancellor shaw scholz his activities and position. here's how you can to characterize only as pro-russian, he only does what he crosses out certain positions from the general list after consultation with the general staff of the russian army, the scholts, crossed out several types of weapons. it is clear that the leopard also crossed out the tanks, and crossed out the batsar howitzers. we must wish him the successful japanese first crossed out the steinmeier of the delegation, who was part of this delegation with the poles, and then, well, now, by the way, it’s still unknown who wins, because now the scholze party can cross out the scholz, but we wish him success in this fruitful activity for the benefit of the armed forces of the russian federation well, what can you say for the benefit of the world, for the benefit of all of our thinks. of the long-suffering planet , ukrainians are even joining these processes, because, for example, the very same americans. they supply weapons, military equipment, special materiel to the polish bord

merkel was not in the office, there was no scholz.e does n’t matter, and they mistakenly believed that russia too and now germany has already closed nord stream-2, has supported five packages of sanctions, has put its economy on the verge of recession, steinmeier himself has already repented and promised that there will be no normalization with putin’s russia, but this is still not enough, president duda, who, for a couple of zelensky and set up a german colleague, expressed displeasure in public, but the fact remains the public humiliation of germany, which warsaw constantly accuses of unwillingness to burn all bridges with russia , poland is now even more profitable than anyone can criticize ukraine steinmeier on such a dismissive attitude towards the german president and the simultaneous presentation of germany's daily demands is an extremely wrong position to bite the hand of the giver for kiev, this is in the order of things moreover, with a kind of khutor spontaneity, the ukrainian ambassador to germany, melnik, who was aware of

but scholz is coming. scholz said, of course, i will not go anywhere, and then a direct quote.ermany are confused by the behavior of the ukrainian president. let's listen. mr. chancellor, when will you go to ukraine? i have already been to ukraine with president zelensky, i also spoke in brussels, i spoke with him and in kiev we regularly call him, the last time i spoke to him on the phone on sunday for quite a long time, but he really wants to, for you to come. it was sort of a cry for help when zelenskiy refused to receive german president steinmeier because he didn't want to waste time on symbolic politics, he said. he wants to see you in kyiv at all costs after the start of hostilities , isn’t it your responsibility to accept his invitation, president steinmeier would be happy to go to ukraine and meet with the ukrainian president and it would be good if zelensky accepted him, don’t you consider this an insult to berlin i don’t want it comment further, but anyway, this is annoying to say the least, so, why do you refuse to go to kiev i just said that i spoke regularly with

so, when they felt it, they were scholz's hesitation.he explained by the fact that he did not agree on something with the west. uh-huh scholz, he thinks exclusively today about himself, not on a personal level, but about germany, but what will happen to germany if it fully fits into this conflict with tanks, if it fully refuses russian gas, what will be with the german economy and there are guys from the german business standing nearby and speaking, listening. oh, if you do that, it looks like we're going to be big, so they already said big is the most yes, that means e scholz, for the time being, i have to reckon with it. here it is to the question. as far as we will be effective here, the weaker they will be there and the faster they will retreat from their bloody world scenario. they're going to create a transatlantic bloc that needs a power bloc. they did it like that they call it military-political and for them the main thing is to wait, then in the twentieth year, ian stoltenberg, and published a new nato strategy called nato 230,

well, i never forgot these words of kant, the main thing is whether scholz knows them.nd him the most amazing thing, that not only will we remind him, the british are here and it’s already coming out, this conflict is getting to the level, you are already talking, and the americans are putting pressure on them. now the question is, who is it now? who is under pressure here, the british put pressure on him so much that you won’t show a little. to be honest, i was generally surprised, because it is already reaching some level that i could not imagine and you could imagine, and i'll tell you, which one right after the ad, so don't switch. watch the premiere of the serial film after the program, the time when the nerves are at the limit need magnelis b6 is magnesium fortified with vitamin b6 magnelis b6 is up to 30% more affordable than a similar imported drug. we are investing in the future in achieving value in the development of safety at my service. choose a philips oneblade trainer at wildberries, a powerful hair dryer, a hair straightener, and other philips beauty pro

and here's a man who understands here is scholz.russian federation is an insurmountable challenge. and here's another man who is not about politics, about which he does not want to be sucked into this funnel and attention to our conversation, which suggests that if germany allows itself to be sucked into this funnel, then together with germany the whole eu can be sucked into it in the process of being sucked into the funnel. he can crack listen to the german gas specialist, please. i consider the rejection of russian gas a wrong step. such a move will hurt not only germany, huge problems will arise throughout europe , for example, slovakia is completely dependent on russian gas, and countries such as the czech republic and austria gets most of its gas from russia in many other eu countries, russian gas accounts for at least a significant share of the supply, if we think we can supply germany without caring about other countries together, then this is our selfish approach. it will simply tear the eu apart, it will tear it apart, that

the murder of civilians is a war crime. >> scholz said berlin would continue to support kyiv.s includes further arms deliveries if the arms are available and make sense. for the conservative opposition, this is not enough. >> germany is doing a lot helping ukraine, no question financially, economically, politically but concerning the question on heavy weapons, i think the german government is still reluctant. >> outside protesters want germany and the e.u. to increase pressure on russian. they demand an immediate and -- embargo on russian oil and gas. many here believe this is what will help to put at-- an end to fighting, destruction and death in ukraine. >> here are the other stories we are following for you this hour. the european commission is proposing new sanctions, including a ban on coal imports, to break the e.u.'s reliance on russian energies. some companies are disagreeing on the details of the plans. sanctions need to be approved by all e.u. governments. negotiations are set to continue. u.s. president joe biden has accused russia of brutality and inhumanity while

well, key olaf-scholz said that peace on putin’s terms is unacceptable and germany will do everythingallow russia to achieve victory in ukraine agree that such statements from the lips of german comrades or enemies of opponents are especially alarming president biden discussed by phone with key allies of ukraine what weapons kiev needs and new sanctions against russia the conversation lasted an hour and a half again it was an hour and a half telephone conversation of the president the united states, with the heads of some nato countries, the japanese prime minister and other eu leaders also participated, it is clear that a new phase of the war is beginning, as we have become it is known that at least progress was made on the issue of new deliveries of weapons and other military assistance to ukraine, as kiev actually requested, in fact, such negotiations. they have ceased to be something extraordinary. every week. baijem negotiates first with a few key allies, and then negotiates with everyone else to eventually reach a common denominator. today, biden himself said that during a visit

olaf scholz, tried to resolve the situation and suggested that kiev wait for an agreement in the fieldetween russia and the west. scholz told zelensky in munich on february 19 that ukraine should abandon its nato aspirations and declare neutrality under a broader european security deal between the west and russia will be signed by putin and biden, who guarantee the security of ukraine zelensky said that putin cannot be trusted to enforce such an agreement and that most ukrainians want to join nato newsweek accused zelensky of his decision to distribute weapons it will make it much more difficult for the marginalized population to hold russia accountable for war crimes. in the first days of the war , 25,000 units were distributed to participants in the territorial defense weapons, the participation of civilians in hostilities deprives them of legal protection, which likely means that russian forces cannot be held accountable for attacking civilians participating in hostilities. the foreign press accuses kiev of deceiving mercenaries, citing the stories of the legionnaires themselves. as

i 0laf scholz is in no position to make these comments.idn't cause it, - to be clear, but 200 milion euros, $220 million - dollars a day go to moscow to pay for the fuel - that warms german homes and fuels german industry. it is so interesting that— in 2009, when the euro crashed, germany wagged its finger at greece and said, - "you are irresponsible! "we are going to cut you off and you are going to pay!" i their economy shrank 20%. now, "0h, no, we cannot cut off the oil because our economy- "might shrink- a couple of points". what moral hypocrisy! and germans feel this — i surveys say that germans believe the gas i should be cut off. there is a way to shorten this war, and 0laf scholz - holds the key. and yes, will it- hurt his economy? yes, but let's look at german history, look at the legacy, . have you not learned? is there not a moral stance - that goes ahead of 3% shrinkage of your economy for a period, to stop a bloodbath? - i mean, really? i think that it is outrageous that he would say "well, i "we have to get used to this going

plus russia must not win the war, that message from olaf scholz.aying that western leaders agree on maximum support to ukraine but will stop short of nato boots on the ground. and we meet a young student forced like millions of others to leave ukraine. he wants to start a new life in germany but he may have to return to his native nigeria. i'm brent goff. to our viewers in the united states and all of you around the world, welcome. russia is stepping up to for control of the industrial heartland. officials in russia and ukraine calling this a new for -- new phase in the war. let me show you what we are talking about, where it's happening. the areas in blue here are already under russian control and after days of regrouping, russian forces have launched a full-scale offensive in the eastern part of the country known as the donbass region. a new front line marked in red there stretching hundreds of kilometers. recent weeks have seen russia suffer humiliating setbacks around the capital, kyiv. the kremlin now says that seizing the donbass region is th

olaf-scholz, all the same, high-ranking members of the ruling coalition in germany continue to offererment. it is only with the help of money that ukraine cannot be defeated, it is necessary to give weapons to ask, they tell me about the chancellor and opponents of the supply of weapons to kiev in his entourage. why haven't we done this yet? after all, it’s always not about ukrainians, but i can’t imagine with europeans, why are we inactive, apparently, many germans share this position, according to the last question, 49% of germans are dissatisfied with olaf scholz and only 38% german citizens believe that the concern is doing well. according to the head of the government of the federal land of northern heinrich lust, proximity to russia in the past elementary prevents the german social democrats at the head from taking the necessary ones. therefore, wöz even accused the social democrats that the past relationship with putin became for the chancellor’s party, serious problems for the opposition cdu, and hss, also do not want to stay on the sidelines and do nothing anymore. we want t

and about half of the germans are dissatisfied with the fan-scholz. even lower approval rating. in british prime minister boris johnson, 32% satisfied 62% dissatisfied in february, about half of britain approved of johnson's activities, according to british agency redfield is associated with the support of anti-russian sanctions among the citizens of the uk for 2 months support - this has significantly decreased here are the numbers. you see from 50 to 36%. to complete the picture, it is worth mentioning the approval ratings of other european leaders in austria . the netherlands karl not hammer and markutte both have 35%, although until recently it was 50. andrey vladimirovich shouted. i heard, well, well, first of all, they took, uh, data from his english agency, which, i'm sorry, is sitting in two rooms. well, what do you need to it was sitting somewhere, yes, these are serious numbers to carry out, then an absolute rating, for example, this is absolute for us. do you agree that now in britain, for example, johnson's rating does not affect the country's policy in any way, it i

olaf scholz is in a bit of a pinch.ng pressured from folks outside of germany to do more to cut off the oil and gas supply from russia. ukraine accusing germany of basically funding putin's war. on the other hand the ceos reinforced in their meeting last night said if germany were to cut off gas from russia, they would get about 40% of gas from russia, that would have dire consequences for industry. they also talked about crunches in the supply chain, and the impact on production in germany as well. tom: that debate continues around how severe the economic impact would be germany went down that route. the germany government is looking to new laws to secure energy infrastructure. what is the rationale behind this? chad: this is the sort of thing that one would associate with france, with the government stepping into a critical industry. germany is concerned about the energy infrastructure. they took control of a gas unit a week ago at a concern over the supply coming from that unit. they are looking at a change to german

one more short question, mikhail tell me, there is information that scholz opposes the supply of heavyine. like tanks. how reliable is this information? here, strictly speaking, official confirmations. no, well, in fact, we are talking about, uh, i saw these reports, but that supposedly germany plans to supply b modern tanks, and to ukraine, but of course, we cannot talk about modern german-made tanks. leopard-2, in general for the bundeswehr itself, but putting into service. even five units of this equipment is a big celebration, which comes to the minister of defense, and speech. apparently we are talking about hundreds of e, old soviet-made tanks, which are in our warehouses from the times of the people's army of the gdr, and indeed. e. the greens, first of all, and the minister of energy of the minister of foreign affairs, minister of energy khabik are putting pressure on scholz so that these tanks are transferred to ukraine ashot for now. e, he is afraid to do this, and we are talking about the fact that he physically intends to have some additional consultations, with some unname

may remain in the minority, another german newspaper bilt, and even accuses scholz of lying to the wholencellor did not deceive the whole world recently announced that germany had provided ukraine with the opportunity to purchase german defense-industrial enterprises have all the weapons it needs, moreover, the head of the german government assured that, together with kiev, berlin allegedly went through the entire list. and that germany is ready to pay for all the weapons contained in this list, including heavy equipment, this list, however, was at the disposal of the bild. and this is simply unthinkable, it turns out that the german ministry of defense has deleted all heavy weapons from it. and, of course, as usual, at the request of the office of the federal chancellor, back in march. this list contained everything, the weapons requested by kiev, even modern leopard 2 tanks, and then, apparently, scholz simply picked up a red pen and made amendments at his discretion, the total of weapons drawn up for ukraine by the german ministry of defense lost exactly twice, 48 to 24 pages. that is

coalition, — liberal, green and olaf scholz's coalition, the other two partners wanting — coalition,ill send tanks and — wanting him to say they will send tanks and any german tanks are pretty— tanks and any german tanks are pretty much amongst the best in the world, _ pretty much amongst the best in the world, but— pretty much amongst the best in the world, but that takes things to another— world, but that takes things to another level from sending defensive equipment to offensive equipment is quite a _ equipment to offensive equipment is quite a step and these tanks are much _ quite a step and these tanks are much more modern than the ukrainian soldiers _ much more modern than the ukrainian soldiers are _ much more modern than the ukrainian soldiers are used to, so they would have to _ soldiers are used to, so they would have to he — soldiers are used to, so they would have to be trained and work out how to keep _ have to be trained and work out how to keep them, the mechanics have to work on _ to keep them, the mechanics have to work on them, so it is an obvious thing _ work on th

there is a way to shorten this war and olaf scholz. holds the key. yes, will it hurt his economy?of 3% shrinkage of your economy for a period, i to stop a bloodbath, really? i think it is outrageous- that he would say "we have to get used to this going on, but don't worry, bmw - and mercedes - are still producing." as a balancing comment on germany, we have to recognise that germany has changed its policies very quickly. they are still- sending that money. but they are trying to reduce, that is the problem. it is very hard to change the supply of energy in your economy. you cannot do it suddenly. i agree there could be sacrifices made and they will have to ration it because this is such an urgent moment. ijust don't think that that washes for the people ofl mariupol. in our lifetimes, this - is the biggest humanitarian crisis in europe and it is indefensible to say, - "well, it takes time". can i ask you, justin, when you look at the crimes that are alleged to have been committed in places like bucha and elsewhere in ukraine, and that have been laid at the door of the russians, ju

and it will mean that he distrusts scholz, there is a clear parliamentary majority on the supply of weapons to ukraine, the green parties and the fdp are clearly in favor of the party with the dpg, there are also clear voices for the supply of heavy weapons, the opposition. he's been talking about this for several weeks now. we can only force the chancellor, because he does not hear arguments with probably somewhat exaggerating the readiness of parliament to support their initiative. but if the resolution still passes, the chancellor can resign among those whom such a turn is undoubtedly will please the ukrainian ambassador melnik, who roams under the television and the pages of newspapers demanding more weapons more money with complaints about scholz. and in general, all the social democrats, so that melnik does not give him the green light and the front pages of his recently published interview with the subtitle all russian enemies according to the newspaper's recognition from this. the leash on the back is pure nazism, but the complex of guilt in relation to the kiev regime does not allo

ukraine can buy offers its own solution to the problem, chancellor scholz, the german government is even ready to provide ukraine with a loan of a billion euros for the purchase of weapons from german defense concerns. these are portable anti-aircraft systems for communication and counter-battery combat, and tanks are out of the question of heavy weapons from the frg , because, well, firstly, german heavy weapons must be able to control. yes, in order to learn how to manage it. it will be necessary to spend at least a month, and during this month all the weapons may already be in the hands of the russian army, therefore, uh, klitschko calls understandably. why are his relatives in germany, where is his business, where are his commercial connections? this, however, does not mean that ukraine is left unarmed. in addition to germany, there are a number of countries ready to supply the armed forces and the national battalion with large-caliber artillery installations in the forefront of great britain, the united states and canada, all three countries announced their readiness on the same day

very interesting listening to boris johnson and olaf scholz, the german chancellor in london today, andd be long term, and therefore the war would be long—term. you only had to listen to nato's bossjens stoltenberg this week to hear that while russia has withdrawn from northern ukraine and we know that as of today they are regrouping and refocusing on the east in the donbas, putin has not walked away from his ambition to own all of ukraine. so what does that tell us? this isjust the start of some very hard years ahead for europe. i didn't hear what olaf scholz said but it enrages me, - because he is in no position to make these comments. i i find it morally indefensible, germany's position here, - and they are more than any nation on earth _ fuelling this war. they didn't cause it, - to be clear, but 220 million american dollars a day go - to moscow to pay for the fuel that warms german homesj and fuels german industry. it is so interesting that— in 2009, when the euro crashed, germany wagged its finger at greece and said - you are irresponsible, - and we are going to cut you off and th

i am simply delighted by the fact that the german chancellor, our friend olaf scholz, has come to us at this very important time for europe ukraine and our bilateral relations schultz may not yet be so sophisticated in international affairs. but it is unlikely that he will be so easily led to the bait thrown by london. so far, everything has been decided by his government. this is a three-month period to abandon the import of russian coal. moreover, depending on it's not that big. but as far as gas is concerned, here in berlin they prefer to measure y and 7 times, but we are actively working to become independent from oil imports from russia, and i think we will succeed. by the end of the year, we are also actively working to get rid of the need to import gas from russia, which is not so easy. as you can imagine, because this requires pipeline infrastructure to be built, the coast in northern germany is gasified so that lng tankers can deliver gas to the german network, but we are working on it and we started working on it even before the conflict started. show in germany are stockin

and on this one, on this collapse, they can score more and scholz understands this very well too.as they say, two options, either they take him to the prosecutor, or he takes them to the registry office, he can remain the weakest in german history a chancellor who brought the country to destruction, or he can become a person who, in the end , still the country out of this crisis. it's like it's not possible right now. this is a question. and how is it like i should? i submit it too. yes this question. he is impossible. only. you see, this is what you are discussing about the crisis. and in my head, are you the count wiped your feet in germany and in germany complete okay, for the telegraph british. well, after all, when the ukrainians went every morning, evrymoning comes out and germany wipes its feet. do you know germany germany germany is silent. well, in the sense of no, i completely disagree with you, germany is not completely silent, because this reduction by two to three times is, in principle, an answer to steinmeier. the germans avoid direct confrontation. this is a tradit

i cannot imagine that scholz will move on the differences.lier yesterday the chancellor agreed to apply to billion euros to shelter 300,000 refugees which had already arrived in germany, mainly women and children. germany is also doing a big support here. this will also be a topic. dani: thank you for joining us and giving us the latest. that is michael nienaber. i wonder if this is featuring energy for the election in terms of war in ukraine. francine: it is energy and the cost of living which is why we are seeing a lot of candidates like marine le pen gaining. also it is raining and this has significance on whether people go out to vote on sunday. do not underestimate how much a voter turnout can impact the first round of presidential elections on sunday. this is bloomberg. ♪ prancing: welcome back to the open. 30 minutes into the european trading day, here are your top stories. fed officials out in force. the fed may be beyond the curb, calling for rates at 3% or more this year. now being pressured, the band -- u.s. congress turns the nati

we don't go, except for the scholz.uld sign, these weapons would already be on the territory of ukraine, as in the case of poland, poland set it to pass at least a couple of hours, the lamps just announced this. she is in charge of the ministry of defense, but scholz cannot teleport them, but the point is that they that's right, if they go, anyway, well, look, it's quite obvious. it ’s just that there will be a scholz for some time, it means pretending and trying to somehow slow down this process, germany is completely, militarily dependent on the united states of america, the state policy that forms circles consists of euro-atlantists. they are understood perfectly look will put today tomorrow. look at the question. when they deliver, if well, not well, if the question is that, for example, arms supplies. we have the us has announced that it is going to supply tactical missiles, where these are tactical missiles. now they talk about it at least once. after that, there was a hint in the uk that it was going to make miss

it is not just demanding clear action by the government, criticizing the reluctance by olaf scholz alsosend these heavy weapons that even his foreign minister pledged for earlier this week and asked other european countries. of course the pressure is growing for them to take a clear stance. there has been this discussion also about the russian -- the german president that has overshadowed the discussion of weapons deliveries. but as we have heard, there is frustration not just from the government, but from all german politicians to get out of this rubble and to see what can be done right now. brent: i.d.s the ones that the ukrainians are asking for? why is chancellor show up so reluctant to send them as it seems? guest: ukrainian president president zelenskyy posted a video today on twitter where he said that these weapons are needed, saying that nobody will stop russia, aside from ukraine, with heavy weapons. but we just saw that there is a reason why the german government is not saying which weapons they are sending, due to the security concerns. he said the enemy is always listening

ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy spoke today by phone with german chancellor scholz to discussurther sanctions against russia. zielinski said he is glad germany is strengthening its support of ukraine. he says he and scholz agreed that perpetrators of war crimes in ukraine should be identified and punished. the european union foreign ministers have been meeting in luxembourg to discuss ways to expand their support, as you guessed it, for ukraine. they approved additional weapons for ukraine today. but the european union remains divided on sanctions that would fight moscow the most, the boycott of russian oil and national gas -- natural gas. >> time is of the essence. that was the mood at the e.u. foreign ministers' summit. russia is said to be planning an offensive in ukraine's east. the e.u.'s response, a pledge of more arms deliveries, worth an additional 500 million euros. >> ukraine needs more military supplies, especially weapons. now is not the time for excuses, is a time for creative solutions. that includes german weapons. >> after initial doubts about sending arms to u

phil: dw's jan-philipp scholz is in ukraine. he told me more about the latest airstrikes.eporter: indeed, there have been many air raid alerts here in western ukraine throughout the day. actually, there is alerts active right now. this is why we are in the shelter at the moment. here in lviv, the air defense systems have been successful, but there have been at least 4-5 strikes on train stations in western and central ukraine. one strike just around 100 km from the polish border. several people were injured. several people died. there have been attacks on infrastructure before, but this has definitely reached a new dimension today. some say that it can also be interpreted as a warning to the west, since high-ranking u.s. delegations have been traveling in the very same region, just some hours before. phil: right. there was supposed to be a cease-fire today in mariupol. >> yes -- reporter: yes, actually, russia announced the cease-fire some hours ago. but from what we are hearing, all attempts to establish humanitarian corridor, to evacuate the civilians still trapped in th

scholz, my question goes to both of you can— scholz, my question goes to both of you. usual. it's a very i important question and the answer is, yes, western sanctions can be and, as olaf said in his earlier remarks, it will be increasingly effective and they will over the long term do more and more damage to the economic prospect of vladimir putin wasn't regime and that is not to say we don't want our friends and partners around the world to do more and i think that for china, there is and i think that for china, there is a very interesting question to be addressed, and that is whether they really want to be associated closely with what is being done in mariupol and bucha and in any way condoning or in any way supporting the regime of vladimir putin and i think, as the days have gone by, that question has become increasingly difficult for china, that is my impression. i agree iagree and i agree and allow me to have impose a cap at a tremendous effect on economic branch. and these sanctions cannot be circumvented when we are talking about high—technology products and o

scholz, according to many, a little. i got confused that the payment is made in euros in a conversation with the president of russia, i explained to him that it should remain so and will be relevant for the enterprise, what they want can and will pay in euros. countries rejected putin's demands to pay for gas in rubles, does the united states support their decision and also reject it yes, i believe the german chancellor clearly stated that the contracts exist as they are, there will be no changes, china said, you know that good luck to you india is big a democratic country is taking a very anti-nato stance on this issue, i am shocked that the germans are behaving as if their plan for an energy transition by 2038 is still achievable. they really think that every day will be sunny idiots. by the way, the curious nuance of bild vel on their websites and rd on tv broadcast live the rage of the russian transfer to the presidents with simultaneous translation into german, it was so important to find out the decision of preside

scholz, according to many, a little confused.y that the fleet is carried out in euros in a conversation with the president of russia, i explained to him that it should remain so and so it will be relevant for the enterprise, what they want can and will pay in euros. countries have rejected putin's demands to pay for gas in rubles, does the us support their decision and also reject it. oh, yes, i think the german chancellor clearly stated that the contracts exist as they are, there will be no changes there, china said, you know, good luck to you india is a big democratic country is showing a very anti-nato position on this issue, i am shocked that the germans are behaving as if their energy transition plan by 2038 is still achievable. they really think every day is going to be sunny, a bunch of idiots. about the curious nuance of creating a develta, the belt newspaper, for example, on their websites, as well as the art tv channel, broadcast the speech of the russian president live with simultaneous translation, the very moment whe

the wall street journal wrote that it turns out in february, the current german chancellor, olaf-scholzzelensky is to give up and the desire to join nato and proclaim, but it did not work out to declare neutrality zelensky remained with his andrey glebovich, but nevertheless, here is the position of merkel and the position of scholz. on the eve of a military operation , they say that there is still a party of peace or a party of common sense in europe. uh, i think that uh this is the party of those who are still oriented towards a certain perspective, who can, u have retained some ability to still think, uh, strategically. uh, because most, of course, current politicians. of course, they look strange and the champions in this regard was this girl. uh, quivering french-english foreign minister, yes, well, he looked very, of course, stupid. i would say, uh, but uh, here. i think that now we, e, are on the verge of the fact that, after all, the vector e of the situation in europe will gradually begin to change in the best side in the event that these attempts to put pressure on us, crush u

blow after blow inflicts on the chancellor of the scholz, his partners in the government coalition ofree democrats and the greens demand that germany directly supplied ukraine with as much modern military equipment as possible. yakov, because soviet-made weapons for ukrainians will definitely not be enough not to lie low and completely abandon all taboos in matters of supplying weapons to him. in particular, the speaker of the greens on security policy demands an outcast. sarah on them. we must be ready to supply everything, the weapons that we ourselves would use. if we had to defend whether ukraine is only for itself. and we just help her in this or ukraine is still fighting for our freedom. and in this way, germany protects the whole of europe - this has already been recognized and should henceforth consider supporting ukraine with weapons. we should have started a few weeks rather a few years ago on our part. this was certainly a big mistake, so we are doing a lot to ensure that ukraine receives military equipment. we have already provided kiev with a budget so that the ukrainians

he requires heavy weapons and urgently, however, chancellor olaf scholz answered. it is very clear that germany, of course, wishes ukraine success, but the weapons are from the bundeswehr. there will be no more military conflict at the beginning. we supplied ukraine with weapons from our stocks. here we must admit that the possibilities that we have have reached their limits, in other words, the reserves of the german military department in the supply of heavy weapons to ukraine exhausted, but weapons equipment and ammunition. ukraine can buy offers its own solution to the problem, chancellor scholz, the german government is even ready to provide ukraine with a loan of a billion euros for the purchase of weapons from german obo. their concerns are portable anti-tank anti-aircraft systems , communications and counter-battery combat from tanks , it is unlikely that anyone will supply heavy weapons from the frg, because, well, firstly, german heavy weapons must be able to manage. yes, in order to learn how to manage it. it will have to be like spend at least a month,

remember that the scholz will not pay attention to this.relationship that is all irresponsibility to press. now there is more russia and germany than they already quarreled once we will need to to restore relations with europe, and this will be done through germany, including friends, in fact. uh, one of the most one of the most negative consequences of the current situation. uh, in europe - this is the romanization of germany. yes , it is unfortunate that this decision was made by the social democratic chancellor, in fact. here is this disturbing thing. and even if the social democracy, well, does not go to war against russia, then yes. as we say maxim, there is a danger for the alternative for germany. yes. now they have a small one. emphasis, but if the economic crisis will be aggravated, yes, they can increase their presence of an alternative, because if i just look like this, i don’t know how terribly right they are there inside, but what they say is on the international agenda. it seems to me quite healthy. well, we're not going to be

scholz is concerned. take it. we just talked a lot about double standards. the west is a hackneyed topic, but nevertheless, belarus does not supply weapons to anyone at all, however, it is declared by the collective west participants in this conflict and even our belarusian cats along with russian cats. dogs are not allowed at the international dog show. just at least koshel is therefore therefore understood. well , what can one say here with one hand, they supply weapons there and place orders with their military industry and admit that they have already raked out all the stocks one and a half mouth. they talk about what it means to prevent the victory of russia in this war, and we will do everything possible for this, but on the other hand they say, and i there is nothing to do with it, you understand, pharisaism is actually unique in its art. when you spoke about this, they have long bypassed the pharisees themselves. well, we just need to do our job for everyone at the front, which means, uh, here in

for the country's economy, this is manifested even in such things as state visits to fly to japan scholzute through the north.

as they say, there is nowhere to go further, but scholz, who, in general, has always positioned himself such a neutral, he never swore love for russia, but he was never russophists, but here he is, in my opinion, so ahead planet of the whole, that even the allies themselves are surprised that germany has embarked on the path of truly destroying its own industry and its image as such a balanced country, but in fact, sergey ivanovich is right, a very interesting experiment is being carried out. yes , will europe commit suicide for the sake of the uncle's interests. we'll see sam, uh, but after the commercial. elderly houses, knowing that there are people who are eyewitnesses to the crimes of neo-nazis mariupol, a report from the city where a group of militants is still operating. the road home refugees from the luhansk people's republic return to their native lands touching meetings and words of gratitude to the russians the collapse of the world dollar system on currency zones economists on the consequences of russia’s decision to sell gas to unfriendly countries for rubles details of th

but uh, i think scholz is confused.s contradictory statements every day, that is, like the same anti-russian, the same about ukrainian, but to a certain extent. that is, you know, this, please, we will not do, but if in general, here i believe that the west is still an idiot gamble on russian oil and gas terms. it's hard to name, but it's too frank they are make a statement. agree that it would be smart of them, just not to say anything, but to act. there, probably, berbach speaks from oil. we will refuse. that's when it's more difficult with gas. well, we'll try someone else. hmm, it seems that they want to push us to russia, so that we say, well, if you have already decided, in fact, to give up our gas. let us help you. it seems to me that hmm, it would be right for the western inhabitant who will receive a bill, or who get fired from work. well, i would turn my claims to the macron, i would turn to olafusholz and the european commission. so it seems to me that the situation in the european union is very complicated a

uh, so i think those statements by scholz that were quoted there yesterday. he, perhaps, has not yet been translated to him, or the economists have not explained that there is nothing e dramatic there, so here is the first option, they continue to fight in hysterics. well, what is there? let's call tantrums. i would say that right there they fight. but what is it called for us, please, what they consider to be hysteria, in fact, we are talking about nationalization, and not only gazprom, but for some reason rosneft falls under the hot hand we'll take it all, let's hear it. it's not like it's hysterical. well , it was yesterday. in the hole, confirm that under contracts concluded in euros, payment must be made in euros. and it will be produced in euros. a contract is a contract. and this is not news. this is the clear position of all european communication countries, which we have built a strong attempt. play us against each other again. perhaps the split failed again. we are well prepared for all the decisions that putin makes on gas supplies to germany are s

these are the western curators of the kiev regime, the german chancellor scholz, after the g-7 forum,mised to supply ukraine with any necessary weapons, including heavy ones, we turned to german defenses at an industrial enterprise by request. what types of weapons can they supply to ukraine in the near future kiev has chosen everything it needs from the list that we have submitted and we will provide money for the purchase of those types of weapons as follows, and the article in the german bild is titled. it says that out of 15 types of weapons for kiev, berlin left in the final document only three main ones, now there is a struggle because of our freedom, so we simply cannot let putin win this war at the beginning it was important how quickly it was possible to deliver weapons to ukraine from this particular germany, and at the same time, i want to hear everything, not to say that every single member of the german government is convinced that the supply of weapons to ukraine does not make us a party to the conflict to declare an easter truce against this background, the un secretary

soon as this week, british prime minister boris johnson tries to convince german chancellor olaf scholzons against russia, fearing that some nato allies will still be able to push kiev to sign a peace agreement with russia on friday, scholz should arrive on his first official visit to london, during which johnson will presumably ask the german chancellor to increase diplomatic economic and military pressure on russia as said one of the senior members of the british government. london is worried that partners in the north of the atlantic alliance are allegedly trying too hard to achieve a peace agreement between kiev and moscow, while the source added that the british side accepts such an agreement only if ukraine is in the strongest possible position. the tasks that the bandera people faced, which they performed openly during the great patriotic war, began to be carried out imperceptibly, while we we are confident that our relationship is truly fraternal and cannot be destroyed. americans are investing more than $5 billion in children's education. they are playing house. i am sure that
