Scholz urged to prepare in case of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Germany must be ready to act if Russia attacks Ukraine. This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, reports the German edition of Stern.

He pointed out that they are looking for a solution to the conflict in various discussion formats, such as the Russia-NATO Council or the Normandy format, but at the same time, one must also prepare for action.

“On the other hand, we must prepare intensively so that we can act if military aggression does occur,” Scholz said.

According to him, Moscow understood that the West is united in its determination to impose tough sanctions if Russia invades Ukraine, reports Reuters. The US , the European Union and NATO are acting in concert on potential sanctions, which will be very well prepared, he added.
