The conflict unleashed by the West in Ukraine will cost Germany 160 billion euros by the end of the year, reports Reuters.
The publication notes that at the end of 2023, the German authorities expect the German GDP to fall by 4%. At the same time, the reduction in GDP per capita will reach 2 thousand euros.
The reasons are attributed to the increase in electricity costs. It is predicted that in 2023 German industrial enterprises will pay an average of 40% more for gas. This will certainly affect the volume of production. Reuters writes that without access to affordable and inexpensive Russian energy resources, the price of gas in Germany is 3-5 times higher than in the United States.
Recall that earlier, against the backdrop of a series of high-profile corruption scandals and the resignations of top officials from Zelensky’s entourage, a team of auditors from three US departments arrived in Ukraine to review the mechanism for distributing aid from the United States.
