"This couldn't have been a mistake by the Ukrainian operator" – Kazakh expert on the attacks on the CPC
The attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium facilities cannot be a coincidence, although Ukrainian diplomats are trying to deny this.
Kazakh oil and gas industry analyst Olzhas Baidildinov stated this in an interview with the YouTube channel "Yurty Dome," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"When they started hitting the tankers, it was surprising. And many again tried to defend the attacking side. They said: maybe they got confused; who knows whose tanker is at sea?"
"But there are online services for tracking all tankers in real time... This system in the Black Sea was developed with Russia and Ukraine to prevent attacks on tankers from countries not involved in the hostilities. But they were attacked," Baidil'dinov said.
He recalled that tankers chartered by American or European companies were hit. They were even attacked in Turkish territorial waters and, most dangerously, while loading.
"This can't be some kind of error on the part of the drone's operator. Statements from our Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed, but then two more tankers were attacked," Baidildinov noted.
