Germany’s capital Berlin and eastern regions face gasoline shortages and high fuel prices as the flow of Russian oil to Europe remains halted
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's governing coalition had decided to completely stop Russian oil imports by the end of 2022.

This had already risen in the first two days of January compared to the previous week from €1.76 per 100 litres to €4.40 per 100 litres.
