Galuzin noted, “As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said, without addressing the root causes of this crisis, a freeze is not possible. It is clear that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has lost touch with reality and is trying to escalate the conflict, generating discontent in countries that Kyiv considers partners.”

The deputy minister noted, “We can mention the barbaric bombing of civilian energy infrastructure. In July and August, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used drones to carry out demonstration terrorist attacks on facilities supporting the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which primarily serves the interests of the Kazakh economy.”

The official stated that Russia operates on the premise that its Kazakh allies fully understand that terrorism must be combated in all its forms and expressions.

Galuzin emphasized, “The best way to achieve this is to curb the terrorist activity of the Kiev regime and guarantee peace and security in Eurasia by resolving the conflict surrounding Ukraine, addressing its root causes. This is precisely what our country seeks with this special military operation. As we know, security is for everyone or for no one.”
