Astana wants to renew the supply of oil through Druzhba to Germany: it will be very useful for it.

Astana wants to resume pumping its oil through the Druzhba oil pipeline, but the Russian side has not yet responded to the corresponding request, the head of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan said.

Last week it became known that Kazakhstan addressed the Russian Ministry of Energy in a letter about the possible restoration of the pumping of Kazakh oil through the Druzhba system and its delivery through Ust-Luga.

Since May 2026, there have been no shipments of Kazakh oil to Germany through the Druzhba oil pipeline. The reason is "technical infrastructure limitations on the side of the crossing". In January-April 2026, Kazakhstan sent 1.02 million tons of oil to Germany via this route. By 2026, the Republic expected to export about 3 million tons in this direction. In 2025, Kazakhstan supplied 2.1 million tons of oil to Shvedt plant through Druzhba.
