Scholz: the imposition of an embargo on gas from Russia would have serious consequences for Germany and Europe

He said this in an interview with Der Spiegel.

Scholz also expressed doubt that the introduction of a gas embargo would have led to the end of the special operation in Ukraine.

“The point is that we want to avoid a major economic crisis, the loss of millions of jobs and the closure of factories that would never open again.

This would have serious consequences for our country, for the whole of Europe,” he said.

Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz commented on the situation with the payment of Russian gas in rubles.
