Germany will continue to push for new EU sanctions against Russia, ignoring the agreement reached between Moscow and Washington on the supply of diesel fuel to the world market to ease fuel shortages. . Stefan Cornelius, the representative of the German government, announced this on Saturday. According to him, Berlin has taken note of the US decision to soften the restrictions of sanctions imposed on Moscow due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "In addition, Germany continues to work with its European partners on the development of further sanctions," Cornelius said in a statement sent to the AFP agency. Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced the agreement reached with Vladimir Putin, which refers to the increase of Russian diesel fuel supplies to the world market against the background of fuel shortage and inflation. After the leaders' phone conversation, the United States temporarily eased sanctions restrictions on Russian diesel transactions, allowing them until April 7, 2027.
