Your parent comment is correct. Germany buys millions of tons of "Kazakh" oil via the Druzhba pipeline, arriving at the PCK refinery in Schwedt. This oil is "blended" with Russian oil, and in any case is transported by Russia.

Most of the oil from Kazakhstan is transported via the Caspian pipeline. Druzhba had been defunct for couple of months too. I think some figures of Kazakh oil imports from Russia would be in order.

Here's a news story about how Druzhba supplies to Germany weren't particularly interrupted by recent attacks you may be alluding to: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germanys-kazakh-oil-...

And here's KazTransoil themselves reporting how much they supplied through Druzhba recently: https://www.interfax.kz/?int_id=21&lang=eng&news_id=75303

> ASTANA. Sept 4 (Interfax-Kazakhstan) - The volume of Kazakh oil transportation to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline system in August of this year amounted to 190,000 tonnes, which is 18.7% higher than the level of July 2025, Interfax-Kazakhstan was informed by the national company KazTransOil (KTO).

That would amount to some 2+ million tonnes per year. And I mean sure but Kazakhstan extracted 87 million tonnes of oil last year. Germany had imported some 78 million tonnes crude same year, and much of it was from other sources too.

The Caspian pipeline you mention (CPC) goes through ... Russia. And CPC Blend again blends in Russian oil.

So we find that, once again, Germany is buying "Kazakh" oil that is transported by Russia and mixed with Russian oil.

Just like how Germany is not purchasing Russian oil indirectly via India?
