Berlin, Feb 25 (Prensa Latina) The current situation in Ukraine forced two German Volkswagen (VW) factories to decree today a reduced working day and interrupt production for several days due to the lack of raw materials.

According to the car company, the factories will not be able to manufacture vehicles because among the missing materials are electrical cables that are made in Ukraine, the DPA news agency said on Friday.

It is for this reason that the president of VW, Herbert Diess, decided to create a crisis committee to assess the consequences of the lack of supply of materials.

Eastern Europe is an important market for Volkswagen, which is second only to Toyota in the world.

Last year, all the brands of the German consortium sold 660,000 vehicles in Eastern Europe.
