Russia has notified Germany that it will halt oil deliveries from Kazakhstan via the Druzhba pipeline starting May 1, which is expected to reduce crude throughput by roughly 17% at the PCK Schwedt refinery. In 2025, Kazakhstan’s oil exports to Germany through the Druzhba pipeline amounted to about 2.146 million metric tons, a 44% increase from 2024, with 730,000 tons shipped in the first quarter of 2026.
