According to the latest opinion polls conducted in Germany, almost all residents of the country are feeling the severe consequences of anti-Russian sanctions, with more than 90% of respondents saying they have recently been forced to restrict spending. If the problem of natural gas supply in Russia is not solved, then every second Germans will be afraid of freezing in the winter.
Three-quarters of the respondents said rising energy prices had become a heavy burden for them, half of the respondents said their economic situation had worsened, and 46% said they had been forced to abandon planned large purchases. The reason is poor financial conditions.
It is understood that the most common ways for Germans to save money are: going to restaurants less (54%), not buying some clothes (50%), and not taking vacations (48%). In addition, more than a third of German citizens have begun saving money on energy and water bills by refusing to take baths or taking fewer showers.
Inflation in the country has broken records since the introduction of the euro and shows no sign of stopping rising, according to German economists.
The natural gas problem may cover the entire country in the near future, and according to German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, it could be almost over within a week if the supply situation of Russia's blue fuel does not improve.
