The Kremlin said the two leaders did not discuss the Ukraine war. Turkey has tried to maintain good relations with both Kyiv and Moscow and has twice hosted peace talks. British households should reduce gas and electricity use where possible this winter to help cut costs and reduce the risk of power cuts, national energy regulator Ofgem said, after the government last week shied away from offering such advice.
Germans are being asked to make savings of at least 20% to get comfortably through the winter while other EU countries have agreed voluntary 15% reductions. Meanwhile, Poland said it had begun repairs to a pipeline carrying Russian oil to Germany and that it did not think Tuesday’s leak, which curtailed flows to a German refinery that is a major fuel supplier to the capital Berlin, was sabotage.
