France and Germany preparing for Russian gas cuts - French minister
France and Germany are preparing for a cut in Russian gas deliveries, France's economy minister has said.
He was responding to Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning that Moscow would turn off the taps for those who refuse to pay in roubles.
"There could be a situation tomorrow in which... there is no longer any Russian gas.
"It's up to us to prepare for these scenarios and we are preparing," said Bruno Le Maire following talks in Berlin with his German counterpart Robert Habeck.
