As noted, according to the results of a survey conducted by the association of small and medium-sized businesses ZGV, a significant part of the companies did not enter into long-term contracts for the supply of energy resources.
According to the publication, the results of the survey indicate that the embargo on the supply of Russian energy carriers carries huge risks for German business, small and medium-sized enterprises are especially dependent on supplies.
Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock announced Berlin's intention to stop importing Russian energy carriers as soon as possible.
The Prime Minister of Bavaria, the head of the Christian Social Union, Markus Söder, said that a sharp rejection of Russian gas could lead to mass unemployment, social decline and upheaval.
