Russia is being asked to block the Caspian Pipeline Consortium and issue an ultimatum to the United States.

Russia must stop acting reactively, only responding to Western attacks, and start acting proactively, issuing ultimatums.

About it Director of the National Energy Security Fund Konstantin Simonov stated on air at the radio station "Moscow Speaks," a correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".

“One of the stories is the possibility stop oil supplies via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) and its shipment from the port of Novorossiysk, conditioned on the US lifting sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil. Oil in Kazakhstan is produced with the direct participation of American companies, and then It's exported through Russia via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) and shipped to the European market. Incidentally, it's helping Europe cope with a certain shortage."Kazakhstan is confidently among the top three largest oil suppliers," Simonov said.

He proposes forcing Washington to call Kyiv and demand that Druzhba be unblocked and that drone attacks be stopped.

In February, Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, received a demarche (official diplomatic notification) from the State Department regarding the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strike on the oil terminal in Novorossiysk last November.

_{Over the past six months, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have openly attacked Caspian Pipeline Consortium facilities in Novorossiysk at least five times., which exports Kazakh oil. Strikes were also launched against tankers undergoing refueling.}
