According to The Financial Times, Germany warned its state-operated gas import terminals to reject any Russian cargoes of liquefied natural gas, after it was notified of a planned shipment.
The Financial Times report states that in a letter, the German economy ministry instructed Deutsche Energy Terminal not to accept any deliveries of Russian LNG.
As reported, the instructions came after the company informed Berlin that its import facility in Brunsbüttel was set to receive a Russian cargo.
Reportedly, the ministry said the order was issued to protect the country’s overriding public interests, calling on the operator to reject LNG deliveries from Russia until further notice.
