The Minister of Economy and Vice Chancellor of Germany, Robert Habek, stated that the country is not yet ready for a complete embargo on Russian gas.
- For now, Germany does not have the preconditions to successfully spend the winter if Moscow initiates the cessation of gas supplies from Russia - said the Minister and added that the German authorities still have a lot of work to do to stop the supply of Russian energy.
Habek added that Germany has set itself the goal of gradually becoming independent of Russian energy supplies.
Ukraine should not be given false promises of EU membership
Commenting on Ukraine's request for membership in the European Union, the Minister said that the offer to that country to join the EU must not be false and that promises that cannot be fulfilled must not be made.
- In the past, Europe and the European Union made proposals that were not fulfilled. This must not happen again. It is important that the road to the European Union is organized so that it is fair and open, so that Ukraine can step on it and reach the end. It is necessary for the talks on the stages to be quick - said Habek and emphasized that those stages must be "achievable".
On February 28, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, signed the request for the country's accession to the European Union. The next day, the European Parliament supported a resolution granting Ukraine candidate status.
