- Sparkasse Hannover stopped transferring the funds, returning them to Gazprombank in Luxembourg due to sanction fears.
- Schröder continues to defend the Baltic pipeline as a cleaner, transitional energy source for Germany.
- The EU aims to ban Nord Stream operations and reduce the Russian oil price cap to $45 per barrel.
Since renewable energies are still not reliably available around the clock and throughout the year, and electricity should not be produced in nuclear power plants, I am in favor of natural gas, and a pipeline is more environmentally friendly than a tanker powered by heavy oil that brings us LNG gas.— Gerhard Schröder in a letter to the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee of the State Parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
