Germany in particular has been handling this crisis extremely well, showing itself to be much more adaptable than many feared. I’m very proud of that and I think cutting dependency on Russian gas – while we might not have necessarily wished for it to go this fast – is just plain good policy, making Germany more resilient in the future. Obviously there have been some short term bad consequences, that‘s pretty much unavoidable with any such drastic shift. But consequences have been far from catastrophic or existential for us. Germans and Europeans are going through some times that are a bit tougher – the people suffering, however, are in Ukraine. I see Germany and Europe coming out of this more resilient and safer, especially if we make sure Putin cannot win this war.
