Russia to block Kazakh oil flows to Germany via key pipeline
Germany has confirmed Russia intends to block transit of Kazakh crude oil to the PCK Schwedt refinery via the Druzhba pipeline starting May 1, 2026. While the refinery relies on this route for 17% of its annual oil needs and can use alternative port sources to avoid jeopardizing Germany's overall energy security, the move underscores Russia's ongoing efforts to weaponize energy, prompting calls to accelerate the EU's REPowerEU agenda to end all Russian fossil fuel imports.
