Germany will halve Russian oil imports by the beginning of the summer and bring them to zero by the end of the year, and then it will start gradually cutting imports of Russian gas. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced this during a press conference with her Baltic counterparts in Riga. “We will halve oil by summer’s end and be at zero by the end of the year, followed by gas under the common European roadmap, because our common exit, the full exit of the EU, is our common strength,” Baerbock added.
