BERLIN - Europe will end its energy dependence on Russia but to do so from one day to the next would plunge it into a recession, risking hundreds of thousands of jobs and entire industrial sectors, G

erman Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday .

"Hundreds of thousands of jobs would be in danger. Whole branches of industry would be on the brink," he said."Sanctions should not hurt European states harder than the Russian leadership." " Putin needs to hear the truth about the war in Ukraine. And that truth is: the war is destroying Ukraine. But with the war, Putin is also destroying Russia's future," Scholz told the lawmakers.

Russian assertions that Ukraine was developing such weapons or that the United States wanted to use them seemed"like an implicit threat that Putin himself is considering using such weapons", the paper quoted Scholz as saying.
