The Alternative for Germany: Germany is heading towards a natural gas crisis
RIA Novosti, Berlin - Co-chair of the Alternative for Germany, Kruparla, stated that Germany is currently heading towards a natural gas crisis, with the country's natural gas reserves having fallen below the critical threshold of 38%. The German Welt TV station live-streamed Kruparla's speech.
Kruparla said: "First, it is a natural gas crisis, and Germany is currently heading towards this natural gas crisis. The natural gas reserves in Germany's underground storage facilities have already fallen below the critical threshold of 38%."
Kruparla pointed out: "A reserve level below 40% is officially defined as a critical state."
At the beginning of December 2025, EU member states reached an initial agreement to abandon the import of Russian liquefied natural gas and pipeline natural gas: the liquefied natural gas import ban will come into effect on January 1, 2027, while the pipeline natural gas import ban will be implemented from November 1, 2027.
Russia has repeatedly stated that the West's refusal to purchase energy resources from Russia is a serious mistake, which will lead the West into a new and more severe dependence, as prices will be higher. Moscow stated that countries that refuse to buy will eventually purchase Russian coal, oil, and natural gas through intermediaries at higher prices.
