Kazakhstan has asked Russia to resume oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline
Kazakhstan's Energy Minister Erlan Akkenzhenov said that he has officially conveyed to the Russian side a request to resume oil pumping through the Druzhba pipeline, suspended since May 2026. Astana confirms the technical capability exists and is awaiting Moscow's response. Earlier, in August, the same minister said that the route was not provided for in Transneft's plans.
