In a significant move impacting Europe’s energy supply, Russia is set to halt the transit of Kazakh oil to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline, starting from May 1. Various reports have indicated that this decision could pose serious risks to refinery output in Germany and raise concerns over the stability of energy supplies. The Kremlin, however, has denied knowledge of such plans, while Kazakhstan asserts that there will be no scheduled oil exports to Germany through Russia in May, citing Ukrainian strikes as a contributing factor. The ongoing uncertainty over oil transit raises alarms about a potential energy crisis, with implications for fuel supplies and geopolitical tensions in the region.
