German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has warned about serious consequences for Russia in case of the aggravation of the crisis around Ukraine, APA reports citing TASS.

"We have made concrete preparations with our EU and us allies, we are discussing possible sanctions - very scaly and very tough sanctions, if necessary, although our efforts today are focused on avoiding this necessity," he told ARD before leaving for the United States.

When asked about possible sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project, he said that nothing is excluded. He said that the sanction list may include "more than Moscow can imagine."
