“Water is wet, touching a flame can burn you, and if gas supplies to Germany are cut off, millions of people will be out of work.

Who would have thought?

Probably, the authorities of the European Union could have thought back at the end of February before starting the hysteria that they dispersed then and continue to disperse until now, ”said Frolov.

In his opinion, it is encouraging that Scholz heeded the statements from the German industry and the German trade unions in the industrial sector.

“They tried to convey this idea to him from the end of March to the present.

It is a pity, of course, that Mr. Scholz thought for so long, but he is glad that he, in principle, learned this common truth ... He realized that if Russian gas supplies were stopped, then half of the gas would not be in Germany.

And in Germany it is used mainly in production.

For the chemical industry, for the production of fertilizers and so on.

But if there is no gas, then the plants will have to stop.

If you understand at least something, then you will not establish a ban with such inputs, ”the analyst added.

He also explained that "the situation is clear."

“If you are trying to influence the largest gas supplier, then you must understand where this gas goes, for whose needs and where you can theoretically replace it, and where not, how gas replacement is combined with your strategic energy plans and so on.

In addition, it would be nice to look around and find out that the world is in an energy crisis.

Which, by the way, makes the search for alternative suppliers almost impossible, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, Scholz said that the imposition of an embargo on gas from Russia would have serious consequences for Germany and Europe and expressed doubt that its introduction would lead to the end of the special operation in Ukraine.
