Russia plans to stop Kazakh oil transit through the northern branch of the Druzhba pipeline to the PCK Schwedt refinery starting May 1. The PCK Schwedt refinery supplies about 90% of Berlin's petrol, kerosene and heating fuel and also fuels Berlin Brandenburg Airport and the surrounding Brandenburg region.
