According to reports, Krasnov said during a recent meeting with the Kazakh Foreign Minister in Minsk : "I am often told that with the support of Ukrainian NGOs, Kazakhstan is carrying out active anti-Russian activities." Krasnov said such activities would fuel anti-Russian sentiment in Kazakhstan.

This statement made Kazakhstan a little scared. Some people began to worry that Russia might turn its attention to Kazakhstan after completing its special military operation against Ukraine. "Yes, we will definitely be next," Chingiz, a former baker in Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, told the Daily Telegraph. "Our army is very small and is not Russia's opponent."

The "Daily Telegraph" reported that Kazakhstan and Russia have the longest continuous land border in the world. The two sides have always regarded each other as firm allies, but Russia The extraordinary military operation against Ukraine has created a rift in relations between the two countries. Earlier this month, in a televised press conference, Kazakh President Kassym Jomart Tokayev told a meeting of the economic forum that he did not support Donbass The independence of the pro-Russian region, this statement makes Putin a bit embarrassed. After this, Putin responded that the territory that once belonged to the Soviet Union also belonged to Russia.

There are 3.5 million ethnic Russians in Kazakhstan's 19 million population, many of whom live in the country's north, where pro-Russian sentiment is growing amid the Kremlin's television propaganda.

Since the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, thousands of anti-war Russians have also established a new home in Kazakhstan. Many people from Moscow and St. Petersburg fled to Almaty, the wealthy former capital of southern Kazakhstan. The northern Kazakhstan city of Uralsk, only 45 miles from the Russia-Kazakhstan border, has also become a refuge for anti-war Russians.
