German Chancellor Scholz Says They are Free from Russian Gas, but EU's Gas Price Cap Could Cause a Backfire

Per Reuters

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Putin is using energy and hunger as weapons but has failed to break the unity of the west. The Chancellor claims Germany is free from dependence on Russian gas.

Scholz's statements were directed to the leaders of the 27 EU countries in a meeting to bring down energy prices. The German Chancellor said a gas price gap could risk driving producers to sell gas elsewhere, resulting in the EU's loss.
