Germany's Finance Minister warned today that the war in Ukraine will leave an impact on the people of Germany, as it will lead to a lower standard of living.

Finance Minister Christian Lindner said the events in Ukraine "will make us all poorer," citing the example of the rise in energy prices for this decline in spending power. He further warned that even the government "will not be able to stop this decline in prosperity. But you can mitigate the worst shocks, that's what we do."

Lindner said the government is intending to support people and businesses that are most at risk and added that the measures can only be temporary due to limited funds.
