Because I think it's now very clear to everyone that we have to become independent of importing coal, oil and gas. Therefore we will have the strength for the speed that we need in the industrial and economic modernization of our energy supply and our production.
As for the turning point associated with Russia's war of aggression, I'm not kidding myself. I named her that on purpose. This is a change in the reality in which we live. Russia has said it is thinking further and again in terms of 17th, 18th and 19th century imperialist power politics and believes it is possible to violently attack a neighbor and seize part of its territory. We cannot change that by just watching, only by doing what is up to us now. That's just supporting Ukraine. But that also means doing more for our own safety.
Question: Mr. Chancellor, you talk a lot about support for Ukraine, but unfortunately we do not see this support in Poland. Since February Poland has sent 100 tanks and self-propelled howitzers to the Ukraine, Germany in the same period four Gepard tanks, if I am not mistaken, and two self-propelled howitzers. But above all I wanted to ask about the so-called ring exchange: when will Poland finally get tanks from Germany, and what kind of tanks will they be?
Answer: But I repeat: if the wishes are presented in the way they are presented to other countries as neighbors of Poland, which are either about to sign a contract on this very precise basis or have already done so, then it will also be possible with Poland
Question: Mr. Scholz, on the subject of Ukraine. US President Biden calls Vladimir Putin a butcher and a war criminal. Do you share this assessment? In your view, should Putin be held accountable for the attack on Ukraine and the killing of civilians?
Additional question: What about the personal responsibility of the Russian President?
BK Scholz: I think the Russian President is responsible for this war. He decided that there should be. This is a terrible, unacceptable war that breaks all the rules and breaks the rules that we have agreed together.
