Germany opposes sanctions relief on Russia despite Trump's diesel stance
Germany has rejected lifting the sanctions imposed on Russia, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to temporarily suspend sanctions on Russian diesel shipments. The German government reaffirmed its commitment to sanction policies and its cooperation with European partners to implement new measures, while maintaining its firm support for Ukraine. It also clarified that Germany's oil supply sources are diverse and independent of Russia, and that the ban on importing Russian diesel remains in effect. At the same time, the German Fuel and Energy Union dismissed the idea that Trump's agreement with Russia would significantly impact fuel prices in Germany or the global market, given that the European ban on importing Russian diesel has been in place since February 2023.
