“This incident is the third act of aggression against a purely civilian facility, the operation of which is guaranteed by international law,” the Kazakh Foreign Ministry stated.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that the CPC plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the global energy system and stated that it views the incident as damaging to bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
“We expect the Ukrainian side to take effective measures to prevent similar incidents in the future,” the statement reads.

“These incidents in our exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea have created serious risks to the safety of navigation, life, property, and the environment in the region,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
