(ANSA) - PARIS, 14 JUL - The State will prepare this summer "a plan of energy sobriety", to deal with the risk of shortage linked to the war in Ukraine: French President Emmanuel Macron declared this during the television speech on 14 July.


    "We must collectively enter into a logic of sobriety, we will prepare a plan to put ourselves in a position to consume less," said the head of state.

The conflict in Ukraine "will last" and the French will have to prepare to do without the Russian gas, which Moscow is using as a "weapon of war": they will be "very hard" months, he added.
