Tokayev in Berlin praises Putin as outstanding statesman

Original: Tokayev in Berlin calls Putin outstanding statesman and most acceptable political figure for Europe Kazakh President Kas

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, visiting Berlin, said he considers Russian President Vladimir Putin an outstanding statesman and the most acceptable political figure for Central Asia and Europe. The remarks drew attention given Germany's stance on the war in Ukraine and Kazakhstan's careful balancing between Moscow and the West.

Why now: A Central Asian leader publicly endorsing Putin while visiting a key European capital is striking amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
