Germans urged to turn down thermostats and annoy Putin
Copyright: EPAImage caption: Economics Minister Robert Habeck says reducing gas and oil dependency starts with personal behaviour Germans are being urged to turn down their heating by a degree and use the train or bike over Easter to help reduce their dependence on Russian gas and oil.
"It's easy on the wallet and annoys Putin," says Economics Minister Robert Habeck, who's also joint leader of the Greens, one of three parties running Germany.
Germany is under pressure from several other EU countries to agree to a complete ban on Russian energy but it currently relies on Russia for 40% of its gas and a quarter of its oil.
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky criticised Germany for moving too slowly on an energy embargo, during his interview with the BBC this week.
German economic institutes warn that immediately halting Russian imports would spark a sharp recession in Europe's biggest economy. But Zelensky says Ukraine's partners need to understand that for his country, it is an issue of survival.

Sinking of Moskva a blow to national pride
Jenny Hill
BBC News, Moscow
This is a significant and humiliating loss for Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly insisted that his "special military operation" in Ukraine is going according to plan.
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, Russian state media are not dwelling on the loss of the pride of the Black Sea fleet.
Morning TV bulletins limited themselves to briefly reporting the statement issued by the authorities, who claim the ship sank in stormy seas after fire and explosions on board caused significant damage to its hull.
Some newspaper commentators appeared to support that, arguing that the fire extinguishing systems on board the 40-year-old warship were out of date and inefficient but several writers agree that the development won’t change the course of war.

While one TV talk show host didn’t speculate on Ukraine’s claims that it had struck the ship, a clearly emotional studio guest - film director and ex-MP Vladimir Bortko - said the fate of the Moskva was grounds for war.
