BERLIN, March 28. /TASS/. Germany is ready to all scenarios of termination of Russian gas import, Vice-Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said at the press conference on Monday.
"We are prepared to all scenarios - and not merely from yesterday. The German government is working from the new year start on all scenarios, to have all the possible answers at its disposal," Habeck said. Berlin seeks "to gradually reduce dependence on import of Russian oil, gas and coal," he added.
The import of Russian oil by Germany is expected to decline twofold, Habeck said earlier. The dependence on Russian coal would drop from 50% to 25% in coming weeks, he added.
