Apparently, German politicians want to leave no stone unturned in order to further sabotage Germany’s already problematic energy supply.
The chairman of the foreign affairs committee, Michael Roth, told RTL that new gas contracts with Russia had become “inconceivable” as a result of the Ukraine crisis. He could no longer imagine deepening economic relations with Russia.
Europe gets almost 40 percent of its natural gas supplies from Russia. Gas prices in the EU have already skyrocketed in recent months, reaching an all-time high of 2 190 percent in December. Recent developments around Ukraine sent natural gas prices skyrocketing by more than 40 percent on Thursday. According to the London ICE exchange, the gas price briefly exceeded the mark of around EUR 1 398 per 1000 cubic meters before falling to around EUR 1 294 per 1000 cubic meters.
German politicians have been preparing their population for rising energy costs for weeks and make no secret of the fact that these are also a consequence of political decisions. Federal Foreign Minister Baerbock declared at the beginning of February that Germany was prepared to pay “a high economic price” for further sanctions against Russia.
This is now taking shape as a result of important decisions made by Germany’s political leadership. After Chancellor Scholz ordered the suspension of the certification process for the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipeline, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, predicted that gas prices in Europe would double to EUR 2 000 per 1000 cubic meters.
