Since Russia has invaded Ukraine, nothing has stopped the flow of oil and gas in Russia and its satellite country oil giant Kazakhstan more than the massive damage just done to the key CDC pipeline.
Russia claims it was caused by a storm (act of God?). Below here's a different view on the cause.
"Analysts cited by the Financial Times expressed some skepticism about the claims of storm damage, noting that none of the consortium’s Western partners, which include the majors Chevron and Exxon, who own 15 percent and 7 percent stakes, respectively, have been able to carry out their own inspections."
Either way, some force is not pleased with how the people of Kazakhstan and of Russia have been treated economically as compared with how the oil oligarchs have gotten so rich.
And it wouldn't surprise me if some force (perhaps Kazakhstan people and/or Russian people) was also sickened so much by the devastation of so much of Ukraine's infrastructure by the Russian military.
