Kazakh authorities reject Russia's demand to expel Ukraine's ambassador to Astana
Kazakhstan refused the demands of the Russian Federation, accusing Moscow of an inappropriate tone in relations between "equal strategic partners."
The Russian Foreign Ministry was outraged by Vrublevsky's statement on August 21, when he said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were "trying to kill more Russians."
The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Ambassador of Kazakhstan in connection with the return of the Ambassador of Ukraine Petr Vrublevsky to Astana. Censor.NET writes about this.
Unfortunately, assurances that this Bandera emissary "will never return" to Astana have not been kept. This character reappeared in the capital of Kazakhstan, and clearly not in order to "just pack up and take the family." Without hiding, he attends diplomatic receptions as the head of the diplomatic mission, - said the speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
In response, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry took mirror measures after Zakharova's statement and summoned the Russian Ambassador to the Kazakh Foreign Ministry.
We understand that this is connected with the war between Ukraine and Russia, but Kazakhstan is not at war with anyone. Therefore, we demand respect for our representatives, our statehood,” commented Azat Peruashev, deputy of the Mazhilis.
