The dispute over Russian energy continues.

Now Vladimir Putin has published new plans for Russian energy exports.

Moscow – Russia's President Vladimir Putin* seems to have new plans for Russian energy.

According to Putin, the country is planning to divert energy exports from Europe to Asia in the future.

Deliveries to the west "will fall," he said at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.

Instead, the "strongly growing markets in the South and East" would be served.

Ukraine News: Russia also wants to ship more oil to Asia

Since the beginning of the Ukraine war*, Asia has been an increasingly important trading partner for Russia.

A spokesman said at the end of March that the country would like to supply more oil to Asia.

There is also a market "in Southeast Asia, in the east," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to the Interfax agency.

The world market is more diverse than just the European market.

"Although of course the European market is premium," admitted Putin's spokesman.

Peskow was reacting to the announcement by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz* (SPD) that Germany's dependence on Russian energy imports would be eliminated "quite quickly".

In the ARD program "Anne Will", Scholz said that Germany could do it quickly with coal and oil.

According to earlier information from Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens*), Germany can probably halve Russian oil imports by the summer.
