By December of last year, 315,000 Russian troops had been either killed or injured in the war—a reduction in troop strength by 87%.

-> Debacle for Habeck: Heating law now also leads to job cuts at the heat pump market leader
The heating industry can't shake the hangover after the discussions about the heating law. The quarterly figures for the first part of the year were disappointing , with declines in almost all areas, with the exception of oil heating, which experienced an upturn. The goal of 500,000 installed heat pumps per year set by Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) seems unattainable, as the industry only expects around 200,000 systems to be installed.

Of these, 372,000 people stated that they were looking for work, but were unable to take up work at short notice - within two weeks, for example - due to care obligations. A further 945,000 said that they were generally available but were not currently looking for a job because, for example, they believed they could not find a suitable job. The third group includes 1.85 million people. Although they are neither looking for a job nor are they available at short notice, they express a general desire to work.

-> Surprising confession - And then Habeck talks about the heating hammer: “A test of how far society is ready.”
Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) also spoke about the heating law, which caused major discussions last year, at a citizens' dialogue on the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law in Berlin. He admitted that the law had gone too far.
In his speech on the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law, Economics Minister Robert Habeck (54, Greens) caused astonishment with his open self-criticism. The politician admitted that he had overstepped the mark with the heating law measures. “I went too far,” Habeck confessed during a public discussion, as “Politico” reporter Hans von der Burchard reported on “X”. The Vice Chancellor continued: "The debate about the Building Energy Act, i.e. how we will heat in the future, was honestly a test of how far society is prepared to take climate protection - if it becomes concrete."
