Considering everybody involved seems to be willing to pay a high price, it’s almost guaranteed that high prices are gonna be paid.
Better pay now then wait for Russia to cash in later.
Baerbock in Moscow sounds like a film I once watched
I found it more interesting that she said that Germany might help Russia converting to renewable energy and green hydrogen. Russia knows that when Europe decarbonises there is nothing left to sell to Europe (with a 15% electric car share in new cars currently fuel usage should decrease by at least 1% each year. With the share increasing this will probably go up to 5% each year in 2024) and renewable energy will replace gas es well.
So this is one of the last years Russia has some leverage at all and they are probably desperate to use it.
Offering them a investments that make sure the economy survives without natural gas and oil might be the deal they cannot refuse. Not pursuing any alternatives will crash the russian economy in the years to come.
Germany will pay with ukrainians blood, but this is great sacrifice that they are ready for.
Her rich green voters won’t mind the consequences. The average tax payer might have a different opinion about it. We shall see.
They will, I mean, how much does Russian gas cost this days?
