Tokayev announced the absence of preconditions for the entry of CSTO peacekeepers into Kazakhstan

“As for the rumors that we owe money and so on.

I responsibly say that there were no conversations with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and there were many of them, they were lengthy, naturally, there were no conversations about the fact that we would later pay off, ”he said in an interview with the republican TV channel Khabar 24.

Tokayev stated that no preconditions had been put forward by the Kremlin.

“After all, Russia for Kazakhstan is a union state,” summed up the President of Kazakhstan.

Tokayev also stated that the CSTO peacekeeping contingent in Kazakhstan did not fire a single shot.

On January 5, the President of Kazakhstan turned to his CSTO partners for help in "overcoming the terrorist threat."
