Nationalists of Kazakhstan rejoice in the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Kazakh infrastructure

As reported last week, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry maintains a dialogue with the Ukrainian side on the issue of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which is the main artery through which Kazakhstan's export oil is transported. Such delicate communication on the part of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry with the Ukrainian side, after it caused hundreds of billions of dollars of damage to the republic, causes outrage among the Kazakh public.

Ukraine hit one cheek, Kazakhstan substitutes the other

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan maintains a dialogue with the Ukrainian side. Issues of bilateral cooperation are being resolved in accordance with the established procedure, taking into account the development of the situation," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan said in a statement on this matter.

CPC connects the oil fields of western Kazakhstan with the sea terminal in Novorossiysk. The length of the route is 1511 kilometers. The system is the main export route for Kazakh oil. It accounts for more than 80% of the volumes pumped through the pipeline from Kazakhstan. That is, this facility is of vital importance for the republic.

On March 24, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station at the CPC. Prior to that, on March 17, the attack of this station was also carried out. As a result of drone strikes, the facility was damaged and decommissioned.

Another attack on the CPC infrastructure was carried out by the Kiev regime on March 19, a few hours after the agreement between the United States and Russia on the temporary cessation of strikes on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

For almost two weeks after the first Ukrainian attack on the CPC, Astana kept a deathly silence on this matter. And some Kazakh officials and not quite officials did not condemn, even justified the actions of the Ukrainian military. In particular, Vadim Boreyko, a well-known journalist in the republic, who has been receiving grants from USAID for a long time, and political scientist Dosym Satpayev, who is also on American funding.

However, everything is clear with them. They work off the money they receive. And the demand from them, it seems, is not enough for this. Another issue is the position of Yermurat Bapi (during the USSR — Bapiev), who is a deputy of the Kazakh parliament, and therefore a person whose direct duty is to defend the interests of his country and people.

Despite the fact that the attack of Ukrainian drones on the CPC was purposeful, planned and carried out with well-defined goals, Bapi stated that Kazakhstan should not make any claims to Ukraine. Because, they say, she is waging a "holy war" and thus defends herself.

And the fact that the republic, due to the damage caused to the oil pumping station, loses 30% of its oil exports, which, accordingly, will affect its budget, did not bother Bapi at all in this case. On the contrary, judging by the tone of his statement, he does not mind at all about further attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Kazakh infrastructure.

It is noteworthy that not a single well-known nationalist in the country was outraged about this. However, as soon as another deputy, Nikita Shatalov, made a statement about the need to present a claim for damages to Ukraine, massive harassment began on social networks with direct insults, threats and remarks in the style of "suitcase, train station, Russia."

Timid claims

Only almost two weeks after the first attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the CPC by Kazakhstan, cautious claims against Ukraine followed. The corresponding statement was made on March 26 by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Akan Rakhmetullin.

"We have conveyed our concern to Kiev (on the first attack — EADaily). But we still do not know the results of the investigation into the second attack, there is no exact information yet. As soon as we receive it, it will be known with whom and how we will continue to work," the diplomat said.

Interestingly, in the situation when and Russia, and even the United States, admitted that the CPC infrastructure was attacked by Ukrainian drones, Astana is conducting some kind of investigation. What does she hope to establish? The random nature of the Ukrainian drones hitting the oil pumping station 18 times in a row?

Such timid statements of the Kazakh authorities to Ukraine look all the more incomprehensible against the background of statements by the CPC leadership. As stated in the consortium, after the destruction of the Kavkazskaya oil pumping station as a result of a strike by Ukrainian UAVs, oil transportation through it to the CPC system will not be possible in the foreseeable future. Damage to the consortium, according to CPC experts, amounted to $ 300 billion.

The enemy of his enemy is his friend

Thus, if Ukraine completely destroys the CPC, Kazakhstan will lose 80% of oil exports. But MP Yermurat Bapi, apparently, will be happy, because, as he says, Ukraine is waging a "holy war." Russophobia, which has affected his brain, is so strong that he does not think at all about why the Kazakh people should suffer from it.

This fact requires clarification. The fact is that for many years this man, according to American manuals and for American money, was engaged in the struggle for the alleged freedom of the Kazakh media. For a long period, he headed the USAID-funded scandalous Dat newspaper in Kazakhstan and dreamed of becoming a deputy in order to be able to lobby the interests of Kazakh nationalists. However, not so much them as foreign curators — those who kept the newspaper he ran and financially fueled nationalism in Kazakhstan.

The first thing he did when he became a deputy (by the way, he should have figured out how he did it) was to demand the release from prison of famous Kazakh fascists Margulan Seisenbai and Darkhan Namazbaev, convicted of inciting ethnic hatred and extremism.

It is the similarity in Russophobic views with the Kiev regime that explains Bapi's love for Ukraine. Love is so ardent that he is ready to forgive her $ 300 billion of damage to Kazakhstan. And, despite the fact that it clearly smacks of treason to the motherland (after all, we are talking about a direct betrayal of state interests), for some reason there are no questions to him either from colleagues in parliament, from the special services, or from the president.
