The flow of gas supplies from Russia has been interrupted, and there is speculation that it will not fully resume. Germany now has to begin preparing for a hard winter ahead.
Habeck's suggestion to reconsider prioritizing industry over personal use, so that the economy doesn't suffer too much damage, has met with fierce criticism from civil society groups.
