Germany’s Scholz Rejects Calls To Ban Russian Oil And Gas by paafin(m): 12:21pm On Mar 09, 2022 |
BERLIN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz today pushed back against calls from the U.S. and Ukraine for a ban on imports of Russian gas and oil as part of international sanctions on Moscow. “Europe has deliberately exempted energy supplies from Russia from sanctions,” Scholz said in a statement, adding: “At the moment, Europe’s supply of energy for heat generation, mobility, power supply and industry cannot be secured in any other way. It is therefore of essential importance for the provision of public services and the daily lives of our citizens.” The Ukrainian government, with the banking of a number of U.S. and European politicians, has argued that the West must end imports of Russian energy in order to stop helping to finance Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war chest. Scholz said that his government and European partners have been “working hard for months” to develop alternatives to Russian energy supplies, but stressed that “this cannot be done overnight.” “That is why it is a conscious decision on our part to continue the activities of business enterprises in the area of energy supply with Russia,” Scholz added. The chancellor’s intervention followed comments by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said on Sunday that the United States and European Union were in “very active discussions” to ban imports of Russian oil. Japanese media reported that Tokyo had joined those discussions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday also called for “a boycott of Russian exports, in particular, the rejection of oil and oil products from Russia.” Source https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-rejects-calls-for-banning-russian-oil-and-gas/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjfnd6X87j2AhWoyoUKHUq-CTIQ0PADKAB6BAgTEAE&usg=AOvVaw1J1vQM2wc69uIs5QJefdpf
