Germany sticks to Russia sanctions after Trump diesel deal
After Washington announced a sanctions pause on Russian diesel, Germany has said it remains committed to pressuring Moscow and supporting Ukraine. More on DW.
Germany has reaffirmed its commitment to sanctions against Russia following the conflict in Ukraine, despite US President Donald Trump's temporary reprieve of US sanctions on Russian diesel. The federal government, according to a government spokesperson, is working with its European partners to implement further sanctions. Germany, being Ukraine's largest financial backer in Europe, has not imported any oil or oil products from Russia since the country's invasion in 2022.
Former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who attended Putin's birthday in Moscow, has faced criticism from Green party co-leader Franziska Brantner, who called for his removal from the SPD party.
