Germany will stop importing oil from Russia by the end of the year, said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock after a meeting with her Baltic counterparts, writes Reuters.

“I therefore say here clearly and unequivocally yes, Germany is also completely phasing out Russian energy imports”, - said Baerbock.

“We will halve oil by the summer and will be at 0 by the end of the year, and then gas will follow, in a joint European roadmap, because our joint exit, the complete exit of the European Union, is our common strength”.
