And the field one to tap built attention. Even more about lenders in our 2 countries are very similar in what well get the plan for the future. When it comes to a man made Climate Change and stopping and Climate Change, we know that requires high tech solutions. We want to make sure that we have competitive products and services to sell to the world at the same time while to do c, e o 2 and yet neutral business. And that requires great skills than with us and to the and we believe that if we move Forward Together, we will reach these goal or from yall to die. I would like to thank you for the in the gray cooperation over the past months. Also adam there when he comes to the g 7 and dee thompson, lincoln, the g 7 in our discussions, we have talked about in many topics. But of course, also russia aggression against ukraine and the impacts this portal rule, russia, waging has on, on peace in the world, the International Community and all of us as well as international order. We have agreed over many decades that we must not have someone invade ones neighbor in order to conquer part of the territory and shift borders, the russian aggression the russian war, calls into question this agreement that we had in the past and therefore is a huge threat to peace in the world as we have reiterated again and again over the last days and months and pod for us, it is essential that would you everything we can to support ukraine and we have done so by supplying ukraine with weapons. Financial means by acting as the g 7 with our friends and partners and working together and organizing concrete support and aid. Im delighted that both of us will be participating in the virtual crimea platform tomorrow. We will both be speaking at that event and that will illustrate that what this will mean. See that it is happening the, the platform talk. What is happening, andrea, that the glad ribbon day them remembered and stay for the victims of totalitarian regimes in europe, in the 20th century. And one day before ukraines independence day, we must not forget that the terrible war russia has started against ukraine, has now lasted for 6 months when canada and germany are determined to continue to support ukraine. The other 2 in defending aid in the territorial integrity and sovereignty. And of course, we will do everything we can to make sure that the country yields. These are a couple of can move out of this disaster situation and move to the future. We will do our best for reconstruction. We will organize the support thats needed that we can as out as a 2 countries that Work Together as the g 7 and the her opinion to nato allies. That means we Work Together very closely for defending our own security and freedom. Trans Atlantic Corporation is a lot most important for atlas and gums. Of course, we have taken the clear decision to make it Crystal Clear to rush out that this will have consequences for them. We have decided and set up unprecedented sanctions that have to match a consequences on rush as economy. No country and about kens wife, about access to modern high tech product besides, in order to develop its economy in the future, russia is basically cut off from such developments now. And we will continue to Work Together and move Forward Together in order to support ukraine. And we do so with all the opportunities and possibilities where we have. We have also cut off russia from international financing, toes, and internet and markets. And we see thousands of International Companies pulling out of russia or reggie russia tools is trying to drive it into the International Community and those who have joined ranks to support ukraine. So i would like to expressly thank canada for making it possible to return and overhauled turbines and to germany. Its now in germany, its ready to be used. And this decision was an important one because it debunked putins game. His strategy was to divide partners and allies to be interesting and to hide and couldnt divide us in our support for ukraine. But we are able to show that russia is no longer a reliable business pop. It has reduced gas supply to all of europe for o ways allegedly because of technical problems that do not exist. So its important that we do not fall into poetry and strap and that we stand together. Thank you very much for your support for the in that of course, we also talked about the possible consequences rushes actions have for Energy Supply in europe and the world. And it is therefore important that we do watch is necessary for the future. Fastly make sure that you know target we become a climate neutral economy that we develop our economy in a way that by the middle of the century. We can be c o, 2 neutral in our industries. And part of this means that we use hydrogen as an important resource in the future, and that we develop it that weve produced and distributed to process the globe. Canada will pay and tremendously Important Role in developing Green Hydrogen in the future. So were delighted that we have the opportunity to step up our corporation in this field as well. Because if Renewable Energy is by a major role and of hydrogen plays a major role in Energy Supply in the future, canada will be of utmost importance to the whole world. It can become one of the big powers in supplying Green Hydrogen to many industrialized nations. And of course, we would be happy to be a pot in us in that process. Of course, it is clear that for a transitional period we will continue to need ellen. Gee, it is an indispensable because wed want to move out of our dependency of rush and gas supplies. And because this is the situation we find ourselves in, we need to do what we want to do and what we Work Together on that is preparing for become in climate neutral and that we use Renewable Energy sources to generate power and electricity that we use hydrogen and also make sure that in the transitional period, we have enough gas supplies available to become independent from rush and gas. We will also Work Together in other raw material areas, especially when comes to Critical Minerals and the end of trade on vacation of our economies. And i am happy to see that in addition to the menu declarations that have been made and as find between companies for flagging in messages as one example, i think they also have signed documents for co. So corporation and the Close Corporation we intend to have, as the 2 nations is also reflected by the fact that canada will be the pot my country at the next hanover fair. This is an excellent symbol of our close friendship. So we have 2 countries and 2 governments that to pursue similar goals when it comes to preparing the future for our planet, safeguarding the future, becoming climate neutral, and to stop men made Climate Change in at the same time, in safeguard prosperity in all nations and create safe jobs and so forth. We also countries that Work Together when it comes to ireland and to show what the beer license securing our own security. We do that within nato and enclosed cooperation with each other. And also in your support for your crane, i could go on forever, but i dont have one too, because actually we will now to target hub and have a rich program over the next 2 days. Ruth, well we can really see what a great country canada is. Annette, how big it isnt at the same time, we will be able to sort a huge potential for further cooperation. Thank you very much for our cooperation and also let me on a more personal note. Thank you for the friendship that connects us. I think you Prime Minister will now go to questions reporter you thought theyre good at johnston. Its back. Thought none. Mind the flag of the event when they come back from visual nets. I bought land one question to the chancellor until the prior Prime Minister, when it comes to ukraine. I would like to ask whether you have agreed or in more concrete terms on future aid. Will it be of a more military nature, financial nature, only political nature, and how would you like to proceed with a joint initiative . Do you rather see nato as a central player or that you havent as a relevant for him to make progress than bite . We will continue madell distances with the support that we have already provided over the last 2 months and that we have developed over the last month. It is of course, Financial Support for ukraine. Course adults for them that also faces grey challenges when it comes to the countrys economy. Tax revenues in such a situation. Of course, there are problems in the fields and this is why we are committed to all financial obligations. The same is true for supporting ukraine in its defense efforts. This means weapons to Close Corporation and the in supporting ukraine, whether it needs and also in training soldiers. And as has been the case in the past, we will continue to work that closely in these fields. Let me also add that it is important that we look at reconstruction already. Now, while were still ongoing in germany, together with the european union, we will host a reconstruction conference to be with the idea of promoting the goal over the long term tremendous, tremendous cost for reconstruction. Well have to be shouldered, and the International Community needs to have the tract already today. Obviously, i fully agree and support everything that all after said the bottom line is we will be there to support ukraine and ukrainian people with what they need for as long as it takes this is going to be, this is a process that we hope and a war that we hope will end quickly, but it may not. And we will be there with the humanitarian support, the military support, the economic and Financial Support, as well as the support around reconstruction. That is necessary because ukraine is certainly fighting for itself for his territory, for its people, for its right to decide what its future is every day against russia. But they are also fighting for the rest of us for the values that underpin democracies. People sovereignty peoples territorial integrity, and thats why we are unequivocal that putin must not, when we will continue to be there to stand up for our democracies. And yes, it is causing hardship around the world, hardship for us. But that is hardship caused by vladimir putin. He must be held accountable for it and we as friends, as g 7 members and as Global Partners will be there to continue to support each other and the global south to the difficulties, whether its an Energy Crisis or a Food Security crisis, that putin himself has cost quotes the follow ups, lack of a brief follow up question to you both. How do you think, put in reaction, what do you think put insurrection will be . Hes under a lot of pressure because he has not reached his military goal so far. The war has been going on for how to get half a yeah, youre afraid of an escalation. Been missing him up . Well, we always need to bear in mind that for other escalation of the war as possible, so i will clear the message is so important. We will support ukraine also with the delivery of arms. We will continue that support putin made a terrible mistake. He underestimated the ukrainians strength, resilience, and resolve to be in charge of their own future. And he underestimated the resilience of the g. 7 of nato of europe, of all of the countries that stand together against this illegal, unthinkable invasion. We will demonstrate through our solidarity through our response, through our support for ukraine, that putin will not profit from this mistake. Next question. We wont get so good morning with a question for both. If you can you crane or felt betrayed on the sending the turbine into germany. What do you say to you say that your privilege, the candidate german relationship then rather than that with the crane and for ms. Monterey. True. Are you going to turn back on your decision about delivering the 5 other job i actually you bring in the sections with the 3rd in europe and germany will continue to be reliant for the coming year or 2 on russian oil and gas imports. Position specifically on gas. Russia does not want to continue to send as much oil and gas as is needed to europe. But russia doesnt want to take responsibility for its choice to not live up to the contracts they have with europe. And so they are looking to blame anyone else like canada, for their not delivering on their obligations. We have done by returning those turbines, are that turbine is remove, the excuse that russia had to blame someone else, any one else for their decision to weapon eyes, Energy Policy. What russias goal is, is not just to create divisions amongst countries that are solid and steadfast. In their support for ukraine, but undermine public support for the strong stance that our countries have taken in support of ukraine. And in that, we chose to take the difficult decision of returning those turbines. Because we do not want division in our steadfast support for ukraine or lack of the Political Support in our democracies for doing the right thing. Settlers could see it is very clear for out a little russia it was wanted just to seat off, is sending the necessary Energy Resource and to europe will to germany, i forgot to punish the population in those countries. I pre li, mozilla, that are supporting the very strong measures we are taking to support ukraine against russia. Russia, if i sold the belong wise to find ways to lane medical, plucky results for the non respect of the contract. So the fact that they have exclaim, canada or blame external factors of what we have demonstrated with returning those turbine on steel. Is that the only entity hold responsible that i trees in the ticket and i can for the child to the challenges in regard to the crisis are facing, is vladimir potent himself the we will not allow him to continue as easy to use Energy Policy as a weapon of war he died, we will remain who that owns su these dead for in our solidarity and shore that citizen, the democracies continued to support the united measures. We are taking the in support of grain and to counter those illegal and irresponsible ashlyn measures for the opportunity to, to, to, to, to Say Something more about this. So, very important topic. So 1st it, as we already discussed, germany is supporting ukraine intensely with all the financial means we could deliver with the human human italian support, but also with weapons. And some of the weapons which are very, very effective, are now making a difference at the situation of that of the war in the east of ukraine. Ah, not just saw how weird says, but also a musty rocket launchers and a lot of other um systems. We are now delivering to make it more easy for the ukrainians forces to defend themselves against attacks from the air. We also support you green with having offered a lot of you green and people to stay in our country when they left their country. Because of the war we have registered more than 9 100008 will be more than 1000000 nearly from the day. We are meeting here we, there are still living some 100 thousands of ukrainians in germany and they get a lot of support. We open to them, our unemployment scheme directly, which is completely different too many other situations of refugees because they have before this to go through a procedure or for Asylum Seekers or to be accepted. And there are more than 150000. 00 pupils which are which attended school in germany now. And that they get her education for the time when they and their mothers. And sometimes their fathers are staying with them in germany. And all this is to give the support for ukraine. Yes, we have taking a lot of varies severe decisions to sanction russia. And to go out of the use of coal and oil. And we stopped the input of coal from russia. In this october, we already decided that that we will go out of the use of oil in the end of the year, and we are decreasing the imports. And we are taking a lot of investments to become independent of imports of gas from russia. So we get our gas from norway, from the netherlands, from the western ports of europe, but also from russia. And for having the chance to import shipped gas l. N, g to germany. We are building now a lot of ports and pipelines in the northern shores of germany. And many places we changed legislation to make this happen in a very, very short time. And this, this, this has the effect that when we started to do this, we were in the beginning of this year, we made to possible that in the beginning of the next year, the 1st of this ports will start to act. We also decided to enforce those who are working in the gas markets to full the storage capacities we have in germany. We also decided to let cold plants produce electricity again. And we are deciding on making it more easy for companies to switch the fuel. The use, for instance, going back to oil, though it has consequences for climate in the next one or 2 years, but to reduce the necessity of importing gas by doing all these activities and many others, many other decisions will follow to make it easier for us to come for this winter and the next one. This is the message germany will be able to make it up to the end of next year to have an infrastructure of importing gas to germany. Which gives us the opportunity to buy gas from the woods market. And doing so, some other countries in europe will not be able to do it in this short time. And this is why all the time we decided not to import, not to have a sanction on gusts from the opinion. And this was discussed also in our International Groups when we discussed on our common activities or drugs is doing is splitting population, splitting allies, splitting all those who are supporting the green and this should never, never succeed. And this is the reason why we are so thankful for the decision of the canadian government. But as you see from what i said to you, we are working hot to become independent of disgust supply. And we are doing a lot of investments to make it happen. And we are doing it as fast as ever possible. Never such an infrastructure has been built in germany and that a short time. Ill see the next please. Good morning, eric. This one. See that since i would like to ask my questions to both of you, i will do so in english. But mr trudeau, if you could, the translated in france, id be very appreciated. And beside e, an energy, a sectors. And how much do you think the ukrainian crisis will really change the economic relation between canada and germany. Canada and germany have long been friends and allies and tremendous partners in both growing the economy in creating opportunity for our citizens. But also for having a positive impact on the world. What russias decision to invade ukraine has done, has accelerated and deepened. The approach that we have towards each other. We know how important it is moving forward to move even faster on fighting Climate Change to move even faster on creating good jobs for our citizens in a changing world. And to continue to stand up for democracy in those principles that create prosperity for people. Not just in our countries, but around the world. Vladimir putin decision to invade ukraine. I think he wanted to weaken the west with that invasion. What he ended up doing was strengthening, deepening, and demonstrating that we will always, to a certain extent, because were in free market economies compete in friendly ways with each other for market share, for opportunities, for investments. But putin and others are showing just how important it is for friends to stand together to Work Together and to create benefits for our citizens and for the world. So putins decision to invade, to try and weaken us has actually led countries like canada and germany, to stand even closer together to look towards the future in an ever more entwined way and to create opportunities for our citizens. And for people around the world together. Le let america and invaded oh, patsy. Well, i see ukraine in part the 2 weekend western democracies. Easier for what he succeeded in doing his new i uncle who is to bring us closer together in the work and just we do to make a more prosperous and equitable world a life than me. Canada and germany have been friends for a long time that he had heart. Yes, it would many levels and idea jail politically coaching dot com. Course eco pins at all. I actually have as consequences that we are going to a deep and that friendship or current level. And of course i will take nothing for granted. At any level. We will create opportunities to demonstrate that democracies what can succeed db without needing authoritarian countries. And their authoritarian approaches. Thank you. I just was ask also to to give her a short answer to that question. I will do. There is a special corporation between canada and germany and all the questions that are related to the future. So both the countries half the idea of becoming 6 of successfully fighting against Climate Change and doing this industrial revolution, which is now starting, which will change all the ways, how we produce things, but which makes it feasible that your economy was successful and see what are able to work, see you to, to be and see who to neutral economy. And this is just a short time to the midst of the century to do this, but we are starting with it. And so there is a lot of economic and Technological Corporation which benefits to 2 countries, because our industries, our business sectors and our political risk, we presented as a working together to make this happen. And when we now see that various russian aggression against ukraine and in the end to the rest of the world, it is absolutely necessary that we accelerate these processes. And this is what we are doing. So we were already cooperating. We were already understanding the 2 nations as nations that could bring progress to the was that in doing these activities, but we are now understanding its, its more important to be successful because of this change situation. Next question is key of the pioneer. One question to the Prime Minister. One question to the chancellor, mr. Prime minister, about gas and about l g production, thats a big political control controversy. And in many countries about this. Now germany is asking us to solve their Energy Problems with your help. Now my question to you would be, are you ready to deliver l n g got to germany and when would that be . And in which volume . And then one question to the chance that i have sites and ill get to the energy and topic once again the use of hydrogen in the future. What is the certificate of l n. G gas from canada in which is would this be helpful or is the focus very clearly on Green Hydrogen . Now canada is a major oil and gas producer in the world. But because of our commitment to fight Climate Change, we are working very, very hard to de carbonized and develop other sources of energy that we can rely on. And that we can share with the world. What russias invasion of ukraine has done as 2 impacts. One in the on the Global Energy situation, in the short term. It has made it imperative that friends and allies of canada like germany and europe reduce their reliance on russian oil and gas. But in the medium and long term it means the world needs to accelerate it
