Kazakhstan will discuss with Ukraine the drone attack on the CPC facility.

Kazakhstan plans to discuss the incident involving a drone attack on the oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) with Ukraine. This was announced by Akan Rakhmetullin, the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.
Казахстан проведет переговоры с Украиной по поводу атаки дронов на объект КТК.

"We are aware of the situation. The Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan has already reported that, despite the attack, oil continues to be pumped at the same volume. Naturally, we will engage with the Ukrainian side, hold meetings, and conduct consultations. These issues must be resolved exclusively through diplomatic means," - noted Rakhmetullin.

On the night of February 17, the "Kropotkinskaya" oil pumping station in the Krasnodar region was attacked by seven drones. Following the incident, the station was temporarily taken out of operation.

The CPC connects oil fields in western Kazakhstan and Russian fields in the Caspian shelf with a marine terminal in Novorossiysk. The route stretches for 1511 km.
