Kazakhstan announced contacts with Ukraine after the attack on the CPC


Astana and Kiev are negotiating to ensure the safety of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), whose oil pumping station was attacked by Ukrainian drones in February. This was announced to journalists on March 26 by First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Akan Rakhmetullin after a meeting of the Mazhilis (lower house) of the Parliament of Kazakhstan.
"Concerns about the first attack were conveyed to the Ukrainian side," TASS quoted him as saying.
As Rakhmetullin pointed out, the second attack on the CPC, which occurred in March, is currently under investigation.
Earlier, on February 17, drones attacked an oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. It is specified that there are no casualties among the staff. The workers were able to prevent the threat of an oil spill. At the moment, the Kropotkinskaya oil refining station has been decommissioned.
On March 19, a few hours after Russian Leader Vladimir Putin's decision, made at the suggestion of US President Donald Trump, to temporarily stop attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the Kiev regime launched an attack using three aircraft-type UAVs on the CPC facility located in the village of Kavkazskaya, which transports oil from railway tankers to the pipeline system of an international oil transportation company.
At the same time, on February 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike would affect global energy markets, including could provoke high energy prices. He added that there are no Russian air defense systems at the CPC facilities, and also stressed that Western equipment was damaged there, which cannot be restored quickly.
