Russia to Halt Kazakh Oil Transit to Germany, Impacting Berlin's Energy Supply
Russia has announced plans to stop the flow of Kazakh oil through the Druzhba pipeline to a refinery in eastern Germany starting May 1. This decision, confirmed by Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, is attributed to current technical capacities and will redirect the oil to other logistics routes. The German subsidiary of Rosneft, Russia's state-owned oil company, is assessing the implications of this pipeline closure and exploring options to ensure the security of supply in Germany. The refinery in eastern Germany, which supplies much of the Berlin region with fuel, is expected to experience limited impact due to this suspension.
