German Economics Minister Robert Habeck said he expects major social disputes in autumn and winter over the follow-up costs of the Russian military operation in Ukraine. “We will see a dramatic increase in heating costs,” he said on the Maybrit Illner’s national talk show on ZDF last night. “Whether the political measures will then be sufficient to sustain social peace and the feeling that things are fair in this country, that will become the decisive question of autumn and winter. I’m not quite sure yet,” said Habeck when asked whether Germany might run out of steam in its support for Ukraine and sanctions against the alleged “aggressor” Russia. The fact is that what he “expects” was created by him in the first place, in line with the EU policy making energy and food more expensive.
