FRANKFURT:

Germany should face the possibility that Russia will continue to suspend gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline beyond a planned maintenance shutdown this month, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Saturday. It could be a rational step by Moscow to further reduce or completely halt natural gas deliveries and it would fit a pattern of actions so far to try to destabilise Europe. “You see a pattern and that can lead to this scenario,” Habeck told Die Zeit weekly newspaper in a webcast interview.
