German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Sunday that the EU’s unity on sanctions against Russia is “starting to crumble” ahead of the summit, where the oil embargo will be discussed, as well as steps to reduce dependence on Russian energy.
This is reported by Reuters.
Habek told the agency that after the start of Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine, everyone “saw what could happen when Europe is united.”
The minister also expressed hope “that it will continue to be so.”
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”.
The head of the German Ministry of Economy called for the same unity and other EU countries.
