Germany should end a boycott of Russian oil and gas to bolster its flagging economy, the leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany, Alice Weidel, told Reuters as she outlined the party’s ambitions to lead a national government.

Weidel said the AfD can win two key federal ‌state elections in the coming months, describing them as milestones to securing the post of German chancellor as soon as the next national elections due by 2029.

      I’m sure she’s quite smart, but the Ukrainians have severely damaged 7 of the 10 main Russian refineries, and there are massive queues for petrol reported all over Russia.

      I’m in the industry, so if you really want me to dig up the stats on gasoline / fuel oil refining in Germany I can get you that. But Germany has been a net importer of refined products for ages and ages, and that alone should tell you something.
