Following a meeting with her Baltic counterparts on Wednesday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated that Germany will cease buying oil from Russia by the end of the year.

‘By the summer, we will have halved the price of oil and will be at 0 by the end of the year. Then gas will follow, according to a shared European roadmap, since our common strength is our complete withdrawal from the European Union, which is our common strength.’
