• we will link up our electricity and gas networks across Europe
• we are considering measures to protect citizens up from a high energy prices
• we will not make any decision for the Ukrainians
• Ukrainians must know what matters most for their country
• we are working to reduce our reliance on Russian energy as quickly as possible

On Iran, Scholz says

• we have made progress but we are at the end yet
• it is job also of powers like China and Russia to contribute to reaching an agreement

Needless to say, the invasion from Russia changed the game for EU/NATO nations. These comments are not a huge surprise..
