Tokayev needs to start his own SMO on Ukraine — Mardan

It's time for President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to start his own SMO on Ukraine. Journalist and radio host Sergey Mardan wrote about this in his telegram channel.

"Kazakhstan's losses from the Ukrainian attack on the infrastructure of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium will amount to about 20% of total oil exports. If it's in money, then about $ 1.5 billion. This is the annual budget of such Kazakh megacities as Astana or Almaty. Then Tokayev, of course, would start his own SMO on Ukraine," he writes.

As previously reported, on November 25, Ukrainian drones once again hit the oil pipeline of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, through which 80% of Kazakhstan's oil exports are transported. Moreover, they did it a few hours after the Kazakh Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Kazakh facilities.

On the night of November 29, Ukrainian unmanned boats attacked the sea terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) near Novorossiysk. One of the berths is damaged, the structure cannot be restored.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan has protested to Ukraine over the strike of unmanned boats at the sea terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) near Novorossiysk.

As EADaily reported, a decision was made in Kazakhstan to change the oil export route after the Ukrainian naval drones blew up the berth of the CPC concern in Novorossiysk.
