“The President of the Republic, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, is in regular contact with the leaders of both countries, urging them to sit down at the negotiating table in order to find a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the current conflict,” TASS quoted him as saying in an interview with the Japanese television channel NHK.

Tleuberdi stressed that anti-Russian sanctions also have a negative impact on the economy of Kazakhstan.

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressed confidence that the Ukrainian conflict would continue as long as Ukraine receives financial and military assistance from the United States.
