German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Sunday that EU unity over sanctions against Russia is “starting to crumble” ahead of a summit to discuss an oil embargo as well as steps to reduce dependence on Russian energy.
It is reported by Archyde.com.
Khabek told the agency that after the start of Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine, everyone “saw what can happen when Europe is united.”
The minister also expressed the hope “that this will continue.”
However, he noted that “this unity is already beginning to crumble.”
Habek urged Germany not to abstain from voting at the summit due to disagreements within the country’s ruling coalition, but to speak “with one voice.”
To the same unity, the head of the Ministry of Economy of Germany called on other EU countries.
