Russia to Halt Kazakh Oil Flows to Germany via Druzhba Pipeline Starting May 1

Russia is set to suspend oil transit from Kazakhstan to Germany through the Druzhba pipeline on May 1, 2026, amid escalating geopolitical tensions over the Ukraine conflict.

Summary Industry sources report that Russia will block Kazakh oil exports destined for German refineries, specifically targeting the northern leg of the Druzhba network. This move disrupts a critical alternative supply route Germany established to reduce dependence on Russian crude. The decision follows a period of frayed political relations and represents a significant escalation in the use of energy infrastructure as a geopolitical lever. Market participants are now bracing for supply tightening at major German refineries like PCK Schwedt. 📈 Tailwinds Increased demand for alternative maritime oil transport services and tanker rates as Germany seeks non-pipeline imports. Potential price support for Brent crude and regional benchmarks due to sudden supply disruptions in Central Europe. Accelerated investment in European energy independence and renewable infrastructure projects. 📉 Headwinds Higher operational costs for German refineries forced to source more expensive seaborne crude via Rostock or Gdansk. Increased energy price volatility in the Eurozone, potentially weighing on industrial manufacturing margins. Geopolitical risk premium expansion for companies with significant infrastructure assets in transit-dependent regions.

Well, well, well, when the West blew up the Nordstream pipeline, Germany manufacturing cratered. Now this, it will put Germany from a major recession into depression, no tears.

Yes, Vlad still holds the cards.

“.....BREAKING: Russia just cut the pipeline. Kazakh oil transit to Germany through the Druzhba pipeline stops May 1. The northern branch. The one that feeds the PCK refinery in Schwedt. Germany thought it escaped Russian energy dependence....” Dasveedanya Germany.

Yes, Vlad still holds the cards.

Because Germany stacked the deck and dealt them.

And the idiots destroyed the power plants.....LOL.
Won’t be long befroe the Huns will be back living in caves....
IF the USA sells them anything, we need to levy a hefty “anti-NATO fee/tax” onto it...

But Germany won’t blame their buddies in Ukraine for blowing up Nord Stream.

Remember, the whole was started over Ukraine stealing natural gas. (And Nazi persecution of ethnic Russians).

“Well, well, well, when the West blew up the Nordstream pipeline, Germany manufacturing cratered.”

That was September 2022. Manufacturing was up over 10% in 2023.

That Dastardly Putin LOL!

Germany shutdown their entire fleet of 33 nuclear power plants, which included 17 main commercial reactors, the rest being prototypes and experimental reactors ... most of those reactors are currently being dismantled, and to date, germany has sent zero naval units to help police the strait of hormuz ...

cheap, copious and reliable energy supply, especially petroleum and natural gas, are the lifeblood of modern civilization ...

Donald Trump warned the germans that this was going to happen, and they literally laughed in his face and then literally destroyed their nuclear energy supply ...

therefore, i have zero sympathy to anything that happens in germany at this point: they deserve whatever they get ...

[McGruff]

Have the Germans rebuild the Nordstream pipeline and then we'll talk.

[Brellium]

Russia wont be a country in 30 years.

It will be as Putin called it, "The largest Muslim country in the world", where their young boys will become "dancing boys" to pleasure the Muslims and the young girls will also be sold in to sex slavery.

All your Russian blue eyed, blond haired children being sold into sex slavery.

This is Russia's future.

[packrat35]

Sounds like the future of the whole Western Civ at the rate we are going...

At least they replaced their oil usage with windmills. How is that saving the earth going for you Europe?

Pastor David Wilkerson (Cross and the Switchblade) of Times Square Church in NYC was given a vision from God regarding the End of the USA. It is documented in his book, “Set the Trumpet to thy Mouth”. God gave him signs that would precede our destruction:

1. Massive Economic Resession/depression in Germany
2. Followed by Massive Economic Resession/depression in Japan
3. Followed by 1. Massive Economic Resession/depression in the USA
