Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak of Russia said on Wednesday that due to "technical reasons," Russia would suspend the transportation of crude oil from Kazakhstan to Germany via the "Friendship" pipeline crossing Russian territory starting May 1. He also stated: "Germany has already given up Russian oil, and they are doing quite well now." Previously, Kazakhstan's Energy Minister Akenzhonov and Germany's Ministry of Economics had indicated there were no plans to transport oil through the "Friendship" pipeline next month. This could significantly impact the PCK refinery in eastern Germany, which supplies most of Berlin's fuel. Meanwhile, global energy markets continue to face ongoing turbulence due to the war between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, leading to major disruptions in global oil and gas markets.
