Germans already paying for Russia gas cut-off
By EUobserver
German taxpayers would pay €5bn a year extra for gas after Germany sanctioned Russian subsidiary Gazprom Germania, according to the Welt am Sonntag newspaper citing industry sources. Germany put the Russian firm under trustee management due to the Ukraine war. The move prompted Russia to cut supplies, forcing Germany to buy extra volumes of gas on the more expensive spot market instead.
