Germany's Merz says easing of Russia sanctions is 'wrong' - feddit.org

Lemmy

Good to know from the elected leader of the party that is the biggest (maybe second biggest) kiss ass to Russia.
What was it, elected with 95%? Putin would be proud.

But I’m sure CDU would be happy to make Deutschland Ticket even more expensive so it’s not a real alternative to cars and we still need petrol imports

His party literally has posters on the street stating that “Europe must win. Ukraine must win.”
I don’t care what they say, I care what they do. Last time I checked EU was buying more petrol from Russia then help provided for Ukraine and a big part of the is Germany.

You are very mistaken.

The top buyers of Russian energy include:

Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m) Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m) France: 157 million euros ($184m) Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m) Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m)

How much of Europe’s oil and gas still comes from Russia?

In 2021, Russia supplied 45% of the EU’s gas and 27% of its oil. By 2024, these dropped to 19% and 3%.
