“Unfortunately, it cannot be ruled out that there will indeed be a shortage.
We will be able to solve this, but it may happen that for a limited amount of time there will be too little oil and therefore too little gasoline.
This cannot be ruled out, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
It is noted that the eastern part of Germany depends on the refinery in Schwedt, which receives energy from Russia.
Khabek also did not rule out that the introduction of the EU embargo on Russian oil could lead to higher prices.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced on May 4 a new package of sanctions with a clause for a phased ban on Russian oil.
