Germany is ready to give up Russian oil starting in January.
Monday, November 28, 2022
Germany is prepared to support the embargo beginning January 1 and replace the Russian oil delivered to the country through the Druzhba pipeline. According to Welt, oil refineries in Schwedt and Loyna are still supplied with Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline. However, the federal government wants to stop its purchases by January 1. In the future, a portion of these resources will be transported to the port of Rostock by tankers and from there to Schwedt by pipeline. The federal government is also in talks with Poland about possible supplies through the port of Gdansk. Scholz noted that the preparations for giving up Russian oil are going well. From January, not a single drop of oil should enter Germany through Russian pipelines.
