Germany Has Reservations About Sanctions On Russian Energy Exports

German Chancellor Scholz said that at present, Europe's energy supply cannot be guaranteed in any other way. In order to prevent the daily life of citizens from being affected, Europe should exclude Russia's energy supply from sanctions. In addition, German Finance Minister Lindner also said that Germany opposed the practice of blocking Russian oil and gas imports. Because from the perspective of the sustainability of the current sanctions against Russia, a self-initiated energy embargo against Russia is not desirable. Given the current situation in Ukraine, a negative impact on Germany's economic growth and inflation cannot be ruled out. The remarks indicate that Germany, the largest economy in the euro zone, has reservations about sanctions on Russia's energy exports at this stage.
