Germany pledges to help Czechia out in the event of gas supply fallout from Russia

Germany has pledged to help Czechia out in the event of a gas supply fallout from Russia.  Czech Industry and Trade Minister Jozef Síkela and German Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck signed an agreement on energy security in Prague on Monday.

Minister Habeck said other EU countries should also sign agreements on cooperation stressing that strong European solidarity is the key to overcoming the current energy crisis. He said that Germany’s reliance on Russian gas supplies had been a big political mistake. Germany is now building two liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to overcome its dependency. Czechia is almost 100 percent dependent on Russian gas imports.
