Germany's BDI industry association slashed its economic growth forecast for 2022 on Tuesday to 1.5%, revising it down from 3.5% expected before the war. It said a halt in Russian gas deliveries would make recession inevitable.
Russian gas is still being pumped via Ukraine but at a reduced rate and the Nord Stream 1 pipeline under the Baltic, a vital supply route to Germany, is working at just 40% capacity, which Moscow says is because Western sanctions are hindering repairs.

To keep the Russia-Ukraine crisis a long way from ending is a clear goal of the US.
As the US and the EU are considering more sanctions against Russia after the unverified alleged "war crimes" in Bucha were exposed. Analysts said on Tuesday that sanctions will not end the crisis but would bring huge harm to both the EU and Russia, especially Germany, the biggest EU economy.
The US will benefit the most, and this would be a big and hard test for EU leaders on how to balance the economy and handle the ongoing crisis.
Since the collapse of Biden's domestic agenda, the Democratic President wants this war to continue, even if the Inflation exacerbated, Recession occurs in USA and EU, world economic collapse, and poverty and famine in the poor countries continues.
Just a thought.
