Russia is losing influence in Europe: Which of the countries gave up the aggressor oil

The German government notes that earlier 55% of all gas imports, 50% of coal imports and 35% of oil imports into the country were in Russia. Against the backdrop of war in Ukraine, the European Union countries have repeatedly stated that they want to reduce the dependence on or abandon Russian energy. But as of January 1, 2023, only Germany did not receive Russian oil pipeline. About it reports the Federal Government of Germany.

"Another important step towards climate and crisis supply of energy," the message reads. The German government also notes that earlier 55% of all gas imports, 50% of coal imports and 35% of oil imports into the country were in Russia. It should be noted that the intention to stop importing Russian oil in Germany was declared in June 2022.

The Deputy Minister of Finance of the country Jorg Kukis then said that Germany would focus on the development of legislation in the field of renewable energy sources. From December 5, 2022, an oil embargo has been operating for Russian oil supply to Europe. The price of oil from the Russian Federation was limited to about $ 60 per barrel.

From February 5, 2023, the purchase of Russian oil products will also be prohibited. Meanwhile, an engineering company from France GTT has announced the termination of work in Russia.
