Ukraine War: Germany to wean itself off reliance on Russian energy

The German Chancellor has said Germany could end Russian oil imports this year as the country aims to wean off its dependence on Russian energy.

At a news conference alongside Boris Johnson, Olaf Scholz said it would no longer be importing coal from Russia and it was diversifying its energy resources.

Good job, the chancelor and the PM are showing unity at this moment in history

[joplinleo]

Germany's lack of foresight is why they are in this situation.

From enermy to the closest of friends fighting authoritarianism

I am panicked about the war in eastern Ukraine that is about to unfold. We should be providing enough support for the Ukraine to win.

Glory to Ukraine! Stay strong Ukrainian.

Historic press conference to see Britain and Germany together to talk about a common foe. Now Germany has to wake up and take its responsibility and participation in the defence of the free world.

It's worth supplying Ukraine whatever they need instead of having built our country up if Pootin starts changing target practices.

All respect to Germany on this. Something I never thought I would ever say 👍🏻

Twists and turns to avoid reaching the point that is Ukraine's admission to NATO.
NATO should already be deployed in Mariupol by now.

Germany's continuing attempts to slow the sanctions is making me sick tbh.

[chynaphire]

After all these media talks they will still go behind and buy gas and oil 😂. Whats the essence of the sanction ?

[johndwilson]

We dont support putin but we pay $1Bn a day to Russia 😂

[michaelkavanagh]

Well done Germany. Must say superb leadership.

[dotdotdot]

This is a victory for trump. He said warned Germany of this exact scenario and yhey on camera laughed him off. As we can see he was right and not laughing now

[rohanmillson]

How? And how many years will it take? Ridiculous

[winreacts]

To think 80 years ago they were at war with Germany and how we have become friends and came together in regards to moral and principles.

[StormyDog]

EU, please close the gas and oil pipelines to Hungary.

[johndwilson]

Germany is key responsible for the development of a monster
