“The main thing is that no one interferes from the outside.”

Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on protests in Kazakhstan. According to him, in Russia “they are convinced that Kazakhstani friends can independently solve their internal problems.”

Peskov noted that it is important that “no one outside intervenes” in the protests in Kazakhstan. He also noted that Kazakhstan did not ask for help from Russia in connection with the situation in the country.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, said that Moscow “counts on the earliest possible normalization of the situation in Kazakhstan through dialogue.”
