- Steinmeier opened with vivid descriptions of the horrors of war, noting that it had caused "the deepest crisis" that a reunified Germany has seen. He warned that "tougher, rough years are ahead of us."
The speech came at a time of uncertainly for Germany, and Steinmeier touched on many of the issues weighing on the minds of many people in the country. These included a cost of living crisis amidst soaring inflation and an energy crunch, as well as the war in Ukraine.

#germany #energy #inflation
Happy to support from the wider Europe to benefit more people and later generations against authoritarian ideas like Putin's
Already job cuts and work hours reduction have started.. few companies planning to reduce production.. and I hope people should prepare for worse.. all should unite and give strong support to government..
We did prepare for many year.
Did you think all our windmiles in denmark was because they looked good 🤣
Germany still needs 6 years to make a bigger cable to get the green energy we have from scandinavia.
But a new gasline they make in days in germany 🤣
Germany treats gas like its corona vacines, they want it all.
And without germany the war would bot have crossed the border into eu from ukraine
Its all thanks to greedy germans wanting gas from rusia..
Germany even waited with giving airdefence to ukraine, so they could get more gas
Germany is veryfast removing it self from its closest alies
And is once again becomming the most hated country in europe
(Even if we country the european part of rusia)
All the money germany shipped to rusia even long after the war stared, was used to fight ukraine and its alies..
You need to be german or amarican to se this is bringing anyone closer to eachother.
Because it is very close to bring down more then its own economy.
And it is fast becoming enemys with its partners and alies
It is the governments that caused the mess kid - grow up.
@@skozzi2845 Hi, I'm Lucien Domingo's. Please can i talk to you in private
Can America borrow Steinmeier? We really need Unity, all a whole lot more!
We don’t want to be unified with weirdos that don’t even know which bathroom to use
Sadly America is about a century behind Germany and is just beginning its fascist twenties phase. Just leave them to get on with their guns and identity politics - best not to get involved with their mess.
@@OhCrumbs96 -"America without her soldiers would be like God without his angels."
To be fair, the president of Germany's entire job is appealing to unity and doing foreign visits.
Of course the position is much more important, but that's basically all they're known for.
@@STdoubleDs Putin talks like that
Wise words. This rhetoric applies to all of us in Europe and in some cases beyond.
We must accept that sacrifices must be made and we must improvise and stay united.
Erdogan continues to burn the candle at both ends and there should be NO gas terminal in Turkey for Russian gas.
united in what? that Ukraine really has some meaning for someone?
@@pwn5047
Ive never debated with no content trolls and I'm not going to start now.
Most of us have been living that way for a long time..
Not every country in eu is greedy for gas like germany for example
They behave like its a corona vacine they need to get before other countrys that would share with germany if they had
Onnestly the war would not have xome across the border from ukraine into europe if it was not for greedy germans
That wanted gas to make money for luxury
We will stay united, but our valets will not bi united.Hahahahahahahahahaaaa
World war 1 and 2, people showed there will to get through anything whilst having nothing. Modern day people struggle if there internet go off for one day. Come on everyone stay strong
You are delusional, those people were killing, dying & getting raped
@@tshifhiwaramatswana6862 I was making the point now times are getting hard because of fuel and cost of living because of the war everyone turns against there own governments and each other rather than rallying together to get through whilst they try to help Ukraine.

@@muninnsays9296 No he sent Zelenko ''Mein Kampf ''and messages of peace

Mind Begs the Question:
NATO,Corporates capable to Boycott
Russia over Ukraine/Petro Dollar
NATO,Corporates not capable to Boycott
China over Concentration Camps?
NATO is dealing with Russia. The Quad and Pacific Partnership is dealing with China.
The USA is focusing on both China and Russia.
NATO is bordering Russia so it's a direct security thread for European NATO-members. If your kind talks Ukraine being irrelevant for Germany cause 2000km is far away then how is Taiwan relevant for us if it's 10000km away? And the even more pressing question...how do camps in China threaten Europe or even Taiwan for that matter?
Germany is not alone still has many friends around.

Wow, the first true and sobering statement to the German people. Times have change.
On another note, Germany has a President!
Ya I had no idea Germany had a president either lol just thought thay had a chandler.
@@shannontarrant1826 Unlike in other countries the German president's main purpose is to represent Germany, meeting foreign officials, giving speeches etc. The chancellor makes the actual political decisions. Fun fact: after ww2 the allies wanted to have Germany a maximum presidency of 2x 5 years and that indeed became the law. Still, there has been no limit set for the chancellor and he can be reelected every 4 years for as long as the people want. It's a mistery if this was intended or overlooked at the time.
@@shannontarrant1826 like many countries in Europe, we have a Chancellor and a president, others have a prime minister and a president. They occupy different roles to seperate powers.
@@muninnsays9296 Yes I'm from Canada and we just have a primeminister and all ways wonder why other country's had a primeminister and a president I now know that in most cases the primeminister is just like the vice President of like the USA.
@@GrandTheftChris Thank u for that info it helped me understand the way that Germany goverment works.I all ways like to learn about how other country's goverments work and the title of the role thay play.
He did understand it very well
You are not alone
Well Germany en large, is indeed alone.
The other european countries are already planning new ways of german "participation" of their financial situation.
European solidayr looks like this: Germany pays.
That's it.
The pragmatic approach would be to help broker peace between Ukraine and Russia instead of aggravating the war.
We Europeans are all family. In times of crisis, ties of kin is all there is.

Hello my sister how are you doing?
For anyone with more knowledge of Germany - this reporter mentioned that the German President gave a speech on May 8th to commemorate the liberation of Europe. I'm curious to know what that might have entailed? I hope it's not insensitive to ask, I'm just intrigued about what the typical German attitude to such an event might be.
8th. May 1945, also named V-day - marked the unconditional capitulation of the German Army, and the end of the WWII.
what do you think they think? I live there and nobody cares. it was over 70years ago. Majority of germans are not bitter about the war.
For Germans its like a new beginning rather than the End. Instead of hanging own to our destructive militarism Like we did in ww1 we finally realised that thinks needed to Change in Order to Work together with other countries an
No, it isn't insensitive to ask this question. We Germans are brutally honest with our history. There are very few people still alive who experienced WW2. So, almost all Germans are innocent on the atrocities of our ancestors, but we are acutely aware that it is now our responsibility to prevent similar atrocities - on our soil of course, but all around the world, if we can help.
@Wiegraf in other words Germany learned the lesson everyone else is forgetting
Germany is stepping up. Bravo.
Since unification!
Dear Mr. Steinmeier you are a true gentleman. I have always enjoyed listening to you. You speak the truth. Totally different to Putin. One can’t believe a word he says, shame on him!!!!!!
the Germans apparently have a bad memory, since they forgot all the good from Russia, firstly the ban on the Morgenthau Plan and the good to demolish the wall, giving freedom, thanks for again following US foreign policy
Actions always speak louder than words.
Actions of BND speak loudest
Yes like giving Ukrainians the support they need for victory
Somber, clear and reassuring because he is himself aware of thr challenges. Very persuasive.
Germany selling ports and now chip factories to China is "aware" of nothing. All that matters is $ for German car companies, so they can keep selling in China, while undermining Europe.
Can I talk to you in private?
God bless Ukraine.Foccus on Ukraine
yeah keep focus on ukraine until your family get poor...
@@crushnevnikita8575 Better be poor than bombed by Russian war criminals like happens to civilians in Ukraine daily.
Sure, focus on Ukraine, let the economy fully collapse, companies go bankrupt unemployment explode, and as a consequence homelessness... Surely supporting Ukraine is important, but can't be blind support.
@@crushnevnikita8575 that's exactly what russia is doing now :)
@@crushnevnikita8575only putin knows how to subjugate his own people to poverty. the poorest people in Europe.
German chancellors or presidents always speak with two tongues.....
War is never been good for the world's interest. For many years the war never ended. We are struggling with other countries' wars and we are the ones who pay for their actions. We must be independent of wise decisions for the best of our people and the country. If theirs a war, theirs peace solutions. The battle against the war from superpowers, who are very hungry for their country's strength must stop for the world's safe, and this is our best solution.
If only our own government (and by that, I mean every political party in Germany) knew how to be cooperative and work together in these trying times.
Unfortunately, blaming and insulting each other like we‘re on the bloody playground seems to be a far easier method, rather making constructive criticism and offering a helping hand in turn.
Absolutely truth
All that can b shared with Germany, is u surely have the resilience and stamina for all that's predicted, and u will b all right, as long as u stay the Cause. ❤️💕
What resilience? They are USA puppets. Their citizens are protesting as we speak
"Turning point in history" ?
Then why did Germany block weapons to Ukraine if n February ?
a) RAF flight blocked
b) Estonia howitzer transfer blocked
c) direct sales blocked
@@vinm300 you are not well informed.
1) it is true that Germany was late in supplying Ukraine with weapons. But up to now Germany delivered a lot of military goods to Ukraine and also delivered a lot of other necessary equipment (incl. a lot of money).
2) Germany NEVER blocked RAF flights flying over German airspace. The RAF had never asked for permission, and Germany had never denied permission. This is a well-known fact by now! I think Germany already gave permission to Estonia in march or April to transfer the howitzers to Ukraine.
Are you all insane? If Germany has to do something is to tell USA to f. off
Vague confusing speech
The flag behind him should be the official german flag
It is.

Its not time for solo flight. Its time for group survival. Things truely did not turn out the way they should have. Unexpected weather. Unexpected stuburness. We should not waste our time in conflict & ego but finding solutions for problems.
War is not going to favour any country as yet. Those who think it will. They are over confident.

Stand strong Germany
Don't go fascist like in Italy.
Long live NATO.

Didnt know germany had a president hes never mentioned
Chancellor (called Prime Minister in other countries) = *head of government*
President = *head of state* (largely ceremonial like a non-absolute monarch; cf. UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain)
(in some presidential republics both roles are combined in a single office, like in the USA)
It's great that President has been to Ukraine to see how devastating the war has caused and send the strong message to fellow Germans. But where is the action, Scholz? Deliver anti-missile Cannons and other weaponry to Ukraine.
Are you even from Germany? Have you seen the energy schedules ? It's illegal to waste energy on some appliances now😀 Bloody hypocrite, no one is killing their own country for zelensky 🤡

Steinmeier sounds common-sense and practical! Smart!
Can someone please educate me with German political system? They got president and chancellor both? So who is THE head of the country? And what does president do compared with chancellor?
@Tony Fei
1. The Federal President is the head of the State, it's the "moral instance" and for representation and certain laws have to be signed by him as well and he can stop bills from becoming laws, if they don't go along with the German Constitution. So he has power, but a bit different.
2. The Speaker of the Federal Parliament (Bundestag).
3. The Federal Chancelor is the head of the Gvt.
As Germany is Federal (16 Federal States) there is the Bundestag (Federal Parliament) and the Bundesrat (Federal Upper House), where the 16 Federal State Ministers are in. Some laws have to be confirmed not only by the Parliament, but also by the Federal Upper House (Bundesrat).
Greetings from Germany
@@saba1030 The head of the Bundesrat, who is always one of the 16 heads of the federal states, also happens to be number 4 in the ceremonial order.
@@Vatnik_tschistilka Oops forgot that one, thanks for the info 😉
The President is Head of State, they are a unifying figure and symbolise Germany in the country and abroad. They are often elected by cross party consensus for their 5 year term by a special assembly of MPs and state delegates.
The Chancellor is the political head of Germany, making all the political decisions, negotiating, and are thus more divisive than the President. They are elected by Parliament, after the parliamentary elections, in a partisan election which involves parties negotiating policy positions and cabinet ministries in return for supporting a specific chancellor candidate- once elected they meet with the President who officially appoints them and their ministers.
Things like Veto power (only for unconstitutional laws) and pardon power (but only with the chancellors signature) also belong to the President.
Steinmeier 💓👍 Ukraine 💙💛❤........

Ich denke, es ist bemerkenswert, dass ein Präsident unvollständige Informationen, Synonyme, Assoziation, Irreführende, Auswärtswinkel, Körpersprache, Duplizierungsgeist und Schweigen verwenden kann. Vermeiden Sie beispielsweise die Diskussion über die staatlichen Gebäude.
Grandfather slept for ten years and then the truth was revealed to him.
Has ever known......... please tell me that was a miss translate.
I didn't know the president of Germany's role is basically ceremonial.... and nothing else? Really?
Yes, it's part of checkes and balances established after WW2.
Although i wouldn't say that beeing the head of the nation is only ceremonial. He still signes laws, suggests who should be the next chancellor, makes international declarations...
The role of President may be ceremonial but he has important messages to his people. I'm assumed you're not German?
Yes true!
The Cancelor is responsible for politics.
@@lawrencekling8598 Whats the message?
@@JanChrissD The roles of these presidents and especially the monarchs in some countries is outdated and we should simply phase these things out by now. A country needs a prime minister that is the head of the party that won the most recent elections. Having a president also is a bit irrational because then it's not clear which one of them (prime minister or president) is making the choices and if they need to agree or not. So if I had my way, every country would have a prime minister or a president, but not both. And kings and queens belong to Netflix but not in real life 2022.

Germany has a president too? I never knew
All parliamentory republics have. It's mostly a ceremonial position though, since the government is run by the chancellor (prime minister in most countries).
Herr steinmeier wir brauchen neuwahlen
Actually im not have enough news and informations about the Germany and the Border also the Unions, talking about projects, policy, resorces and consequences, all those think are really - really serius isues, its seem the egg on the dear tumb horn.. btw many alse and any one
Yes that president is Mick Jaggar of the politics .Hahahahahaahhaa I cannot live without him
Listening to the president, I could not help picking up what he actually meant with change was to prepare Germany for the future, and the future will mean military - military defense and to become an EU military powerhouse again... it's a change in mindset to forget the past and start preparing its military stance in EU once again. Some interesting pieces of his speech - one era comes to an end and new one starts (peace to aggressive stance) ... see more clearly what is required from us (change its peace mindset to survival) ... not live in fear (investing in military). This is a message of preparation, getting back its power, so this never happens again... Europe, the continent is a mess, its infested with dictators and terrorist, it's in complete anarchy and out of control, unstable, it's a danger to the world and humankind, and needs liberation and unification, it needs a leader, it needs Germany back
