Kremlin says it is not aware of plan to stop Kazakhstan's oil transit to Germany

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was not aware of plans to halt Kazakhstan's oil exports via the Druzhba pipeline to Germany starting May 1. The report raises a potential supply-risk headline for regional crude logistics, but it contains no confirmed disruption or quantitative impact. Near-term market effect is likely limited unless the reported halt is officially confirmed.
