Russia to Block Kazakh Oil Flows to Germany via Pipeline

Russia plans to halt Kazakh oil flows to Germany through a key pipeline, according to Deutsche Welle.

The blockade represents a direct threat to European energy security, cutting off alternative supply routes that bypass Russian territory. Germany and other EU states have sought to diversify oil sources away from Russian suppliers since 2022.

Kazakhstan's oil represents a critical non-Russian energy source for Europe. The move underscores ongoing energy weaponization in the region and complicates EU efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience. No timeline for the blockade was specified.
