German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck says his nation’s heavy dependence on Russia’s energy supplies will be eliminated by the end of the current year.
The country will achieve independence from Russian coal by autumn, according to Habeck, who also serves as the country’s economy and climate minister.
The top official added that Germany’s reliance on Russian crude is expected to be almost eradicated.
“We work every day, indeed every day, and sometimes every night, to reduce dependence on Russian oil, coal and gas,” Habeck said in an interview with German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
