If Russia is not at war with Ukraine now, it can attack Kazakhstan, they admitted in Nur-Sultan.

Kazakhstan decided to increase the funding of the army, fearing a war with Russia. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal on Monday, July 25.

According to the newspaper, Kazakhstan learned from the war in Ukraine and decided to increase the country’s defense budget by 1.5 times – by 441 billion tenge (about $918 million). The government also concluded an agreement with Turkey on the production of UAVs on its territory.

In addition, as indicated, Nur-Sultan is rethinking Russia’s privileged position in its foreign policy and forging relations with countries such as the United States, Turkey and China.

“Imagine if they don’t have Ukraine… Are we next?” – The WSJ quoted the words of a high-ranking Kazakh official.

It will be recalled that in June, the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, told the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, that he would not recognize the “LDNR”. After this, a trade war started between the states.

As reported, two days ago Tokayev had a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
