Just a few weeks ago, Germany would not have survived an immediate oil supply stop. According to Federal Foreign Minister Baerbock, they are now “prepared” to manage without Russia for several years.
Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has confirmed that Germany supports an oil embargo against Russia.
One is now “prepared” to get by without Russian oil for several years, said the Green politician on ARD. The background are new supply contracts. A few weeks ago, an immediate delivery stop would not have been possible, Baerbock said.
The share of Russian oil in German oil consumption has fallen from 35 to 12 percent within a few weeks since the start of the Russian war against Ukraine. This emerges from the new progress report on energy security by the federal government. With a German yes to an oil embargo, the pressure on the remaining EU member states, which in the discussion were still considered to be the brakes, is increasing.
At a special meeting today, the energy ministers of the EU countries are discussing, among other things, Russia’s freeze on gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria.
