Russia has announced that it will cut German gas supply by an additional 33%.
Yesterday (15th), it announced that it would reduce the supply from 167 million cubic meters to 100 million cubic meters, and this time it announced that it would further reduce it to 67 million cubic meters.
If this policy is realized, it is equivalent to reducing 60% of the total gas supply.
The Russian side insists that the sanctions cannot fix the broken gas turbine, but German Economy Minister Robert Havek strongly criticized it as "a simple excuse" and "a trick to destabilize prices."
Russia has not stopped its armed offensive against Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released a video of firing dozens of high-precision Kalibr missiles into the Lviv region of Ukraine, where weapons are concentrated.
President Zelensky has urged the EU to tighten sanctions against Russia, saying Russia could attack other countries further.
