German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that sanctions
against Russia by western countries were hurting his country and other allies.
He, however, maintained that Europe and its allies would
have to pay the price since freedom, democracy, solidarity with friends and
partners have their prices.
He promised that Germany will continue to support Ukraine
during a speech at the Annual meeting of the Federation of German Industries on
Tuesday, as reported by CNN.
“Unprecedentedly tough sanctions” were imposed on Russia.
“These sanctions do work. Yes, these sanctions are hurting ourselves as well.
They hurt our companies, but they are right,” Scholz said.
“Freedom has its price. Democracy has its price. Solidarity
with friends and partners has its price. And we are prepared to pay this
price,” Scholz said.
Scholz said his trip to Irpin near Kyiv last Thursday made
clear to him that Ukraine belonged to the European family.
