2. Germany and Poland were the biggest importers of pipeline oil from Russia,which is not yet under sanctions

   they together accounted for 2/3 of EU pipeline oil imports from Russia

   with the help of Polish oil suppliers,Germany managed to end Russian pipeline oil imports in December 2022

   Poland also gradually reduced orders of Russian oil to the point Tatneft decided to cut supply to zero

   successful example of colaboration in the current energy crisis

3. I like how the numbers in graph don’t add up.

   4270 thousand tonnes in 2023 vs 5934 thousand tonnes in 2022…

4. Why not zero?? As long as you buy russian gas people are dying you know

5. Impressive, honestly.

   Also, I remember screeching how “nooo, German industry can’t stop importing russian oil”

   Here’s that

6. Well done them. Respect.

7. There is a “million” too much in the title.

8. Don’t be so impressed. Germany still imports oil from countrys that buy oil from Russia and resell it. Like India.

9. Well done Germany.
