German Foreign Affairs Committee Chief: New gas contracts with Russia inconceivable
|The chair of the German Foreign Affairs Committee said Thursday, “new gas contracts with Russia are inconceivable.”
He added that “Germany can no longer imagine deepening economic relations with Russia.”
Earlier this week, Germany put a major natural-gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, on hold after Russia’s troop deployed to two breakaway regions of Ukraine.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has threatened to extend Europe’s energy crisis, with worst not yet over, as Brent oil hit $100 this morning.
