Other suggestions of Sommaruga to save money were to cool the refrigerator less, turn on your heaters less and use electricity more carefully.
‘DO NOT SHOWER, WIPE WITH CLOTH’
A recommendation similar to that of the Swiss minister was recently made. GermanyIt had come from.
Winfried Kretschmann, who governs the southwestern German province on the border of France and Switzerland, advised the public to wipe with a damp cloth instead of taking a shower.
Kretschmann stated that he also resorted to this method.
Russian state energy company Gazprom announced in April that it would suspend natural gas flow to GasTerra, which refuses to pay in rubles for the gas it supplies.
GasTerra, on the other hand, made a statement regarding the ruble payments and stated that Gazprom’s payment obligations for Russian natural gas would not be fulfilled.
Gazprom had also cut off gas supplies to Finland, which had previously refused to pay in rubles.
