Major bitcoin miners in South Kazakhstan have private fibre to Kyrgyzstan, exactly for an eventuality like this.
News were leaking out of the country through them when the internet was shutdown. They also are ones who have a lot of satcom gear, since they often need to repair their bootleg fibre in the middle of nowhere.
It's also to not get detected. A few million dollars ISO container standing in the middle of nowhere will get appropriated in no time there invariably if it's mafia finds it, or the local KGB offshoot.

This would be the KGB offshoot. Belarus also has a KGB as do other post Soviet countries, I believe.
