According to Economics Minister Robert Habeck, Germany is now prepared to stop Russian oil supplies.
"Today I can say that an embargo has become manageable for Germany," said the Green politician after a meeting with his Polish colleague Anna Moskwa on Tuesday in Warsaw.
The share of Russian oil is only about twelve percent.
And this share falls solely on deliveries for the PCK refinery in Schwedt an der Oder.
Here we are looking for an alternative.
"This alternative is the task of the next few days." He assumes that it is actually only a matter of days.
In the run-up to the meeting in Warsaw, it was said that the Polish port of Gdansk could play an important role in ensuring that Schwedt was supplied by ship.
Schwedt is connected to a pipeline from Russia and is controlled by the Russian company Rosneft.
