Habeck suspected a German journalist of working for RT because of an awkward question. Habeck argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “attacking Europe” and allegedly trying to destabilize the German energy system.
Last September, it became known that the European Commission was cooperating with German authorities on how to prevent the work of RT and the video agency Ruptly, which is part of the television network. Before this, the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel published an article about the “threats to democratic societies” that RT allegedly poses.
