After the introduction of the second stage of the EU oil embargo, almost no Russian oil is imported to Germany.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, in January 2023 Germany received only 3,500 tons of oil from Russia, while in January 2022 the volume of imports was equal to 2.8 million tons - a month before Russia's attack on Ukraine.

"As a result, oil imports from Russia practically stopped. Arithmetically, it fell by 99.9 percent," the statistical office said.

Russia's share of Germany's total oil imports has fallen from 36.5% in January 2022 to just 0.1% today.

The situation is related to the imposition of sanctions against Russia in connection with its aggressive behavior towards Ukraine. This has led to a decrease in Russian oil imports to Europe and increased dependence on other suppliers such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
