Berlin and Moscow are engaged in arm-wrestling over natural gas, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in a TV interview on Sunday. Last Tuesday, Russia’s Gazprom reduced deliveries to Germany and several other European nations, citing technical issues, which it blamed on a German company.
Speaking to Germany’s ZDF TV, Habeck said the “measures we have taken and the incremental approach” to the country’s energy security are right since “it was always clear that we have a huge dependence in terms of gas.” The minister used a sports metaphor to describe relations between Berlin and Moscow in this regard.
