ISTANBUL (AA) - The French prime minister on Wednesday pledged to limit natural gas and electricity price hikes to 15% for 2023 amid the energy crisis in Europe worsened by Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine.

France will provide 12 million lower-income households with one-time energy aid payments of up to €200 ($200), Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne told a news conference.

She added that France may need its neighbors to help supply electricity to the country.
