   Germany issues warning on gas supplies but says state rationing not yet needed Russia's demand to be paid for its gas in roubles has put nations like Germany on high alert. By Ed Clowes, business reporter Wednesday 30 March 2022 11:04, UK Germany has declared an “early warning” of a gas supply emergency, in one of the starkest signs yet that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is spilling over into European energy markets. The country said that its warning was intended to prepare for the risk of disruption to, or even the end of, natural gas flows from Russia. Last week, President Vladimir Putin announced that "unfriendly" countries - such as the UK, the US, and the European Union - will soon be required to pay for Russian gas in roubles. The move is intended to subvert sanctions and shore up Russia’s currency, but has been flatly rejected by the G7 nations, with some like Italy calling it a breach of contract. The announcement has put European countries like Germany on high alert, however. German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Wednesday that the “early warning” measure was the first of three stages, and did not yet imply a state intervention to ration gas supplies. But he did urge Germans to reduce consumption, telling a press conference that “every kilowatt hour counts,” according to Reuters. Германия предупреждает о поставках газа, но заявляет, что государственное нормирование пока не требуется Требование России платить за свой газ в рублях привело такие страны, как Германия, в состояние повышенной готовности. Автор: Эд Клоуз, бизнес-репортер Среда, 30 марта 2022 года, 11:04, Великобритания Германия объявила “раннее предупреждение” о чрезвычайной ситуации с поставками газа, что является одним из самых ярких признаков того, что российское вторжение в Украину распространяется на европейские энергетические рынки. Страна заявила, что ее предупреждение было направлено на то, чтобы подготовиться к риску нарушения или даже прекращения поставок природного газа из России. На прошлой неделе президент Владимир Путин объявил, что "недружественные" страны, такие как Великобритания, США и Европейский союз, вскоре будут обязаны платить за российский газ в рублях. Этот шаг призван подорвать санкции и укрепить российскую валюту, но был категорически отвергнут странами G7, а некоторые, такие как Италия, назвали это нарушением контракта. Однако это объявление привело европейские страны, такие как Германия, в состояние повышенной готовности. Министр экономики Германии Роберт Хабек заявил в среду, что мера “раннего предупреждения” является первым из трех этапов и пока не подразумевает государственного вмешательства для нормирования поставок газа. Но он призвал немцев сократить потребление, заявив на пресс-конференции, что “каждый киловатт-час имеет значение”, сообщает Reuters. Analyses 1.
