STORY: Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) on Monday in Canada: “Canada and Germany are determined to continue to support Ukraine and to help it defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty. And of course we will do everything we can to ensure that country can recover from this catastrophe, we will do everything for a successful reconstruction. We will organize the support that our countries can organize, together with our allies in the G7 and also in the European Union. We are NATO allies and that is why we work closely together in NATO to defend the transatlantic, to defend our own security and freedom. Transatlantic cooperation is of the utmost importance to us. And of course we have also made very clear decisions that make it clear to Russia that this War is one that does not remain without consequences.We have decided on unprecedented sanctions, which dramatically affect the development opportunities of the Russian economy. No country in the world can continue to develop well without access to the technological, modern products of its own time. And Russia is now largely excluded by the sanctions.” // “Of course, Russia is trying to divide the world community and also those who have allied themselves to support Ukraine. That’s why I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks once again for Canada helping to ensure that an overhauled turbine can be returned and is now in Germany to be used. It was an important decision because it exposed Putin’s strategy aimed at dividing allies, aimed at undermining support for Ukraine. And if we stick together, then we can rule out exactly that.”
