Germany will pay Russia a record amount for energy
According to the data, Germany's spending on Russian oil may grow from 11.4 billion euros to 14.3 billion euros, and on gas — from 8.8 billion euros to 17.6 billion euros compared to last year.
In addition, Germany will need to pay about two billion euro for coal imports. Thus, the amount that Germany will spend in 2022 on Russian energy resources will reach a record 33.9 billion euro — the German edition of Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten.
The environmental organization, against the background of increased spending on Russian energy resources, called on the government to reconsider its energy policy. But the German authorities recognize the fact that the country cannot refuse to supply Russian gas, as this will have a negative effect on society.
The statement was made earlier by Vice-Chancellor of Germany Robert Habek. The politician noted that although the country has shale gas reserves, it cannot use them now.
