ELI5: How do imported goods get to Almaty when it is so far away from a port?

Almaty seems very isolated with the "Қазақ даласы", Gobi/Taklamakan desert, Caspian Sea and Tien Shan separating it from the major cities of the world.

For imported goods that need a port, how do they get to Almaty? Do they come by way of China and Russia? Has there been supply chain disruptions due to the "SVO"?
