FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German utility industry association BDEW on Thursday said the government should announce an early warning alert on an existing national emergency gas supply plan to bear account of the Russian demand for rouble payments, which can throw supply chains into disarray.
BDEW in a statement cited “concrete and serious indications” of a worsening of the gas supply situation after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said Russia would start selling gas to “unfriendly” countries in roubles.
