Relations between Kazakhstan and Russia, have deteriorated since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022...
"Kazakhstan has unambiguously stated that it will follow the sanctions regime," Tokayev said following talks during an official visit to Berlin to meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Timothy Ash, an economist and associate fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at British think tank Chatham House, said the statement was significant and shows Moscow is losing influence.
"Wow, huge move. Just shows weakening grip across region of Russia because of Putin's idiotic invasion of Ukraine. He lost Armenia in recent weeks on Russia's inability to help in [Nagorno-Karabakh]," he said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter...

Pls, give us a link to your oracle.
And how you determine it to be factual.
Chinese bot says what?
No. Think Chechnya (wars vs. Russia) x10 (at least), and urban warfare instead of in the mountains. Very, VERY ugly.
Check out the trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Russia, and Kazakhstan and Germany. Then look at the map and guess how the latter should take place. You can just as well state that Mexicovuas turned back on the US.
