The White House said that the United States has nothing to do with the riots in Kazakhstan

“This is not about us.

This is not a question for the United States, "RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The official added that asking about the possible impact of events in Kazakhstan on the situation around Ukraine and negotiations between Moscow and Washington "should be in the Kremlin."

As Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said earlier, Russia views the protests in Kazakhstan as provoked from outside.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that Moscow views the riots in Kazakhstan as an externally inspired attempt to forcibly undermine the integrity of this country using trained and organized armed formations.
