Russia halts Kazakh oil to Germany via Druzhba, cites technical limits
Russia says Kazakh crude sent to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline will be suspended from May 1 due to 'technical capacities', with volumes redirected to other routes. The halt could affect Berlin's fuel supply via the PCK Schwedt refinery, though regulators say Germany's mineral oil supply remains secure and Rosneft Deutschland will adapt. The move comes amid broader energy-market strains tied to geopolitical tensions in the region.
