Scholz: The Conflict in Ukraine Has Severely Impacted Germany

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed today, Tuesday, that "the consequences of the armed conflict in Ukraine have significantly affected Germany because we were not well prepared." He stated, "The consequences of the horrific Russian attack on Ukraine have greatly impacted us here in Germany, as we were not well prepared." According to him, after the military operation began in Ukraine, Germany took urgent measures, building new liquefied natural gas terminals as quickly as possible and finding new energy suppliers. Russia has repeatedly asserted that the West made a grave mistake by refusing to purchase hydrocarbons from Russia and will face a new strong crisis due to rising prices.
