Alertă maximă la pompă: Kazahstanul oprește livrările prin Marea Neagră. Cauza: dronele • Newsweek România
Kazakhstan has officially suspended oil exports through the Black Sea due to increased drone attacks on Russian port infrastructure. This decision, made on July 21, 2026, affects regional oil supply, as 70% of crude processed in Romanian refineries comes from Kazakhstan. The halt in maritime transport leaves the market without immediate logistical support, potentially leading to rising fuel prices. The Kazakh president has called for urgent reconfiguration of trade routes to protect the country's budget revenues. Alternative land routes through Azerbaijan and Georgia are being explored, but they come with higher logistical costs.
