"This means that if we don't get more gas by next winter, and supplies from Russia are interrupted or disrupted, we won't have enough gas to heat our homes and support industry", Habeck said on air of Deutschlandfunk.
He added that gas is used mainly at the beginning of the supply chain, so any disruptions may cause "a domino effect".
