Germany’s Habeck: We are prepared should Russia stop gas exports
Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in a statement on Wednesday, “we are prepared should Russia stop gas exports.”
Earlier this week, Habeck pushed new proposals to counter the country's reliance on Russian gas following the invasion of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, European Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, said: European Union (EU) “can't ban Russian gas completely.”
