I november 2005 opsagde det russiske statsejede rørledningsselskab Transneft den langvarige transportaftale med det kasakhiske selskab KazMunaiGaz, da det nu forhandler om køb af aktier i et litauisk olieraffinaderi og en langvarig aftale om olietransport, hvilket synes at være i modstrid med Ruslands planer om udvidelse.
In November 2005, the Russian state-owned pipeline company Transneft terminated the long-term transport agreement with the Kazakhstan company KazMunaiGaz, as it is now negotiating the acquisition of the shares of a Lithuanian oil refinery and a long-term contract for oil transit, which appears in contradiction with Russia’s expansionist plans.
