German Foreign Minister Belbock said on Tuesday, local time, that Germany is dependent on Russian energy and will not follow the example of the United States and Britain to ban oil imports from Russia, the Russia Today website reported. She believes that if imports of Russian oil are banned, Germany will stagnate.
"We import 1/3 of our oil from Russia," Belbock said. "if we stop importing Russian oil immediately, we will not be able to 'move on' in Germany tomorrow. "
A day earlier, German Chancellor Schultz also said that Russian energy is vital to the daily lives of the people. "Europe has not imposed sanctions on Russia's energy supply because there is no other way to guarantee Europe's heating, transport, power supply and industrial operation," Schultz said in a statement on the 7th. Russian energy is of great significance to the services of general concern and the daily life of the people. "
