Breach of Ukraine's territorial integrity would have "high price", says Scholz

Any violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity by Russia would have a high price, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told parliament on Wednesday, without spelling out any details.

"We are looking with great concern at the security situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border," Scholz told the Bundestag lower house of parliament.

"Any violation of territorial integrity will have a high price and we will speak with one voice here with our European partners and our transatlantic allies," he said, adding that he still wanted a dialogue with Russia.
