Germany continues to receive Russian gas, coal and oil, but the country’s authorities have begun buying gas bypassing Russia, said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. . At the same time, he did not specify where the supplies come from, Kommersant reports.

In an interview with the ZDF TV channel, Scholz explained that Germany was preparing in advance for the consequences of anti-Russian sanctions imposed due to the Russian military operation in Ukraine and understood that “difficulties could arise” with supplies from Russia. “We have prepared to buy gas somewhere else, we have done this and we are doing it further,” Scholz said.

Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.” In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones.
