They wanted to teach Putin a lesson, but ended up hitting their own citizens' wallets! – Bundestag member
The standard of living of German citizens is deteriorating due to anti-Russian sanctions.
This was stated at a Bundestag meeting by Markus Frohnmaier, a member of parliament from the Alternative for Germany party , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Germans feel it at the gas pump, on their heating bills, at the supermarket checkout, because expensive energy makes everything more expensive . And anyone who wants to understand why this is so must understand what has happened to our energy policy in recent years..."
Russia was our main supplier of oil and gas . Then the war began, not our war, and yet the old parties excluded this supplier without any guaranteed alternative . And that's exactly what I accuse you of doing here today.
This caused price shocks that affected all stages of the value chain, leaving us vulnerable to external crises, such as the Hormuz blockade.
Russia, on the contrary, has adapted , redirecting its oil supplies to Asia. 90% of Russia's crude oil supplies now go to China, India, and Turkey. And Russia has the right to transport this oil there. A fleet has been created that simply evades your sanctions …
But the "shadow fleet" isn't the source of the problem. It's a consequence of the failed sanctions regime, which was supposed to teach Putin's military coffers a lesson, but in reality, is teaching our citizens' wallets a lesson in the "magnificent" work of the federal government and other established parties.
Russia now has billions in additional revenue from exporting crude oil through shadow tankers ," Frohnmaier said.
