"I would not advocate an embargo on Russian imports of fossil fuels. I would even oppose it," he said after meeting German business leaders. "We need these energy supplies to maintain the price stability and energy security in Germany," Habeck added, warning that "a shortage in supply could threaten social cohesion in Germany." Habeck stressed Germany "must free ourselves" from imports of Russia''s gas, coal, and oil.
Ukraine Set to Get More Military, Humanitarian Aid from US
05:50pm, Sunday, 06'th Mar 2022 Voice of America News
A day after many of them spoke with Ukraine’s president, U.S. lawmakers are pledging to provide additional military aid to Kyiv as the government there continues to fight for its survival amid the invasion by Russia. Congress will soon approve emergency funding, putting “$10 billion into both defensive equipment for Ukraine, but also humanitarian assistance to get civilians out,” said Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, on "Fox News Sunday." Despite generally bipartisan and robust support for Kyiv, members of the U.S. Congress are drawing the line at another Ukrainian request: a no-fly zone for the country’s airspace to deter Russian aerial attacks. That would mean "World War III,” Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida told ABC’s “This Week” program Sunday. "I think there are a lot of things we can do to help Ukraine protect itself… but I think people need to understand what a no-fly zone means." Another senator, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a Democrat, expressed a less strict stance. “I would take nothing off the table,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Murphy, a Democrat, commented on Fox News: “If I were President Zelenskyy, I would be asking for a no-fly zone.
