Scholz: Sanctions against Russia will take place every day, more dramatic

Scholz has said Western sanctions against Russia are showing effects, which “will become more dramatic every day”, CNN reports.

The war in Ukraine could be a longer dispute, and for that reason we have to face it together”, Scholz has said at a media conference together with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.

Scholz has said Germany's stance on the European Union's widespread ban on Russian energy imports has not changed.

This applies to many other European countries that are even more dependent on coal, oil and Russian gas than Germany. We decided to become independent as soon as possible from gas and oil imports from Russia”, the German Chancellor has said.
