The countries of the European Union are divided over the imposition of sanctions against Russia for "invading" Ukraine.
New German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is threatening Russia with a "high price" for attacking Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, December 15.
"The price for violating the borders (of Ukraine) will be high ... We need to look for a way out of the spiral of tension," he said.
Scholz called for a "new eastern policy towards the Russian Federation."

OK but what does this have to do with the accusation that Germany "finally admitted" that the US had staged a coup there?
That is, Germany had previously tried to remain mostly neutral towards Russia and continued its energy cooperation conditionally. They are now completely opposite Russia. And they oppose the activation of Nord Stream-2.

Scholz, Macron and Zelensky in Brussels
The leaders of Ukraine, Germany and France urge Russia to continue negotiations in the Normandy format.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on Russia to continue working within the Normandy format. This was announced on Wednesday, December 15, by the Office of the President following the meeting of the leaders of the three countries in Brussels.
"During the meeting with Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz, he thanked for the strong support of Ukraine against the background of the military threat from the Russian Federation, as well as for the consistent position of Germany and France in the Normandy format. They confirmed their readiness to continue working," Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
According to the OP, the parties agreed on the need to continue active work in the Normandy format and ensure the implementation of the decisions taken by the four parties at the Paris summit on December 9, 2019.
Zelensky stressed that this applies, first of all, to such urgent measures to stabilize the situation in the conflict zone, such as ensuring compliance with the ceasefire, the mutual release of detainees and the opening of two new checkpoints.
"Vladimir Zelensky, Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron agreed to make every effort to achieve real progress in stabilizing the situation in Donbass and called on the Russian side to resume constructive work for this in the Normandy format," the message says.
Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is not subject to any provocations on the border, does not have any aggressive intentions towards other parties and remains committed to diplomatic means of resolving the situation.
“I expect that Russian troops and weapons will be withdrawn from the borders of Ukraine as soon as possible. So far, despite continuing diplomatic efforts, they remain at our borders,” he said.

Well yeah but that still doesn't explain the "admitting to a US coup" line. The US already holds Germany by the balls since WW2, there's no real reason to pull a coup. People just picked an anti-Russian candidate.That is, Germany had previously tried to remain mostly neutral towards Russia and continued its energy cooperation conditionally. They are now completely opposite Russia. And they oppose the activation of Nord Stream-2.

Russia to Upgrade Air Defense Along Ukraine Border
Russia will upgrade anti-aircraft systems in its south, replacing the S-300 surface-to-air system with the S-300PM-2.
www.thedefensepost.com
"Russia will upgrade the anti-aircraft systems in its south, replacing the S-300 surface-to-air system with the S-300PM-2, Izvestia revealed, citing sources.
The upgrade, planned in Rostov Oblast and Crimea, is part of the country’s southern military district rearmament, the outlet added. The system will be deployed alongside the S- 400 and the C-350 Vityaz."
The people did not choose an anti-Russian candidate. A coalition government was formed here. And as the head of state, someone completely unrelated to foreign policy was elected. The Secretary of State, on the other hand, became a favorite candidate of the United States. Meanwhile, during the Merkel era, the French and Germans began to talk about an EU army.
In Mozambique, there was talk that the EU army wanted to deploy 5,000 soldiers to protect the French 20 billion dollar LNG project.
All of this was to form the basic building block of creating a military force independent of NATO. And today, a puppet government came to power in Germany that could end the French dream of an EU army. I think it must be some kind of joke to claim that all this happened by chance!
European Parliament calls to disconnect Russia from SWIFT in the event of a new invasion of Ukraine
Against the backdrop of increasing Russian military threats against Ukraine, members of the European Parliament say any aggression by Moscow must come at a high economic and political price in a resolution adopted by 548 votes (69 against, 54 abstentions).
The European Parliament has condemned the current large Russian military build-up on the Ukrainian border. MEPs demand that the government in Moscow immediately withdraw its forces and stop threatening its neighboring country.
According to the European Parliament, the build-up of Russian forces is a tool for obtaining political concessions from the West at the expense of Ukraine.
With Ukrainian NATO aspirations in mind, the text emphasizes that “any country’s choice of alliances must not be subject to a third country’s approval” and therefore rejects Russia’s attempts to include some countries in its ‘sphere of influence’ to shape their future.
The EU must be ready to send Russia a stark warning that military hostilities against Ukraine will not only be unacceptable but would also come at a high economic and political price, the text says. EU countries must remain ready to agree swiftly on severe economic and financial sanctions against the Russian government to address immediate threats, rather than wait for another invasion to take place before taking action.
Any new sanctions package should include the Russian officer corps and flag officers involved in the planning of a possible invasion, as well as the immediate circle and oligarchs “in the orbit of the Russian President and their families.” It should also entail the freezing of financial and physical assets in the EU, travel bans, the exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT payment system, the targeting of sectors important to the Russian economy, and the disruption of the financing of the country’s intelligence services and the military.
MEPs also demand that the EU take credible steps to reduce its dependence on Russian energy imports and show stronger energy solidarity with Ukraine. This should be done by interlinking the EU’s and Ukraine’s energy infrastructures more closely.
The resolution urges that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline should not be made operational, regardless of whether it at some point fulfills the provisions of the EU Gas Directive.
Parliament also urges Russia and the Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine to adhere to the ceasefire agreements. In addition, MEPs call on Russia to engage constructively in the so-called Normandy Format (gathering representatives of Germany, Russia, Ukraine, and France) to try to resolve the war in Donbas and the Trilateral Contact Group, as well as to implement its international obligations, particularly under the Minsk Agreements and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The resolution also expresses its full support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders.

Norwegian company cannot conduct seismic survey of the Black Sea due to Russian warships - Vitrenko
Russia is doing everything possible so that Ukraine cannot guarantee itself energy independence, Vitrenko said.
Russian warships prevent the Norwegian company from making a seismic survey of the Black Sea shelf, thereby preventing Ukraine from producing gas in the Black Sea. This was announced on Thursday, December 16, by the chairman of the board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, Yuriy Vitrenko, on the air of the talk show Right to Ownership for 1 + 1.
“We have the Black Sea, there are huge deposits of natural gas. We cannot do a normal seismic survey because of the Russian warships, which do not allow the Norwegian company to do this research. They do this so that we, as a country, cannot provide ourselves own gas, increasing production ", - said Vitrenko.
It is known that in September of this year, the exploration of the Black Sea shelf, carried out by the Norwegian company Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), reached the stage of geological exploration.
There are discovered gas fields in the Black Sea that have significant potential. There are 30 such sites in total.
