Germany is ready to make a decision on a bailout for Uniper SE “soon” but ongoing talks with the company are “difficult.”

Uniper - which is heavily dependent on Russian gas - asked the German government for a bailout on Friday, the first major corporate casualty of Moscow’s squeeze on European energy flows. The government is prepared to help the company no matter what, said a spokeswoman for the government.
