This is reported by Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources.

Germany is in the late stages of negotiations to acquire Uniper SE and two other major gas importers in a historic move to avoid a collapse in the country's energy market.

According to the agency, German companies are suffering losses amid the suspension of gas supplies via Nord Stream.

This is due to the fact that now Germany is forced to buy blue fuel from other suppliers at an increased price.

It is noted that the loss of Uniper per day is up to €100 million, while VNG may face a loss of €1 billion this year.

“Everything is very complicated, we are working on everything very carefully,” German Economy Minister Robert Habek was quoted as saying by the publication.

Earlier it became known that negotiations are underway in Germany on a possible increase in the state's share in the German gas importer Uniper.
