❗️Kazakhstan blocked 61 attempts to smuggle fuel across its border with Russia over the past 2 days, seizing more than 3 tonnes hidden in auxiliary tanks and canisters. Officials also said 593 illegal export attempts involving over 40,000 liters have been stopped since the start of the year. #Kazakhstan

Reminds me a bit of how Sweden stopped iron ore exports to Germany after Stalingrad.
The war is turning against Russia clear enough the Kazakhstan feels comfortable stopping vital supplies from being smuggled into Russia.
