“Germany quickly adapted to the new reality.

A reality in which we no longer cooperate with Russia,” Scholz said.

In just a few months, Germany changed the energy supply system and made itself independent of Russian "gas, oil or coal," he said.

Earlier, Scholz said that Germany's goal is to prevent the expansion of Russia's borders.

On January 25, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN, said that Berlin had made a choice in favor of escalating the confrontation with Moscow.
