JAKARTA - Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, Olga Stefanishyna, said US President Donald Trump's administration warned the Ukrainian government that Kyiv's attack on Russian oil facilities in the Black Sea late last year had an impact on US investment in Kazakhstan,
"We have heard that Ukraine's attack on Novorossiysk affected some American investments made through Kazakhstan. And the State Department has warned us to refrain from, you know, attacking American interests," Stefanishyna told CNN.
He said the US State Department's message emphasized the minimal economic interests of the United States in Ukraine compared to Kazakhstan, and regretted that during Ukraine's 35 years of independence, many opportunities were missed without building a similar economic position.
US oil and gas company Chevron is the main shareholder in the International Kaspi Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which transports oil from Kazakhstan fields to the Black Sea for export.
At the end of November 2025, Ukrainian drones attacked CPC's critical infrastructure in the waters of the Novorossiysk port. As a result, Kazakhstan's oil exports also declined.
