On Monday, September 16, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during his visit to Kazakhstan. During the talks, the parties touched upon the issue of Ukraine.
In particular, Tokayev emphasized that further escalation of the war will lead to "irreparable consequences for all mankind," in particular for countries directly involved in the "Russian-Ukrainian conflict."
He also regrets that Russia and Ukraine were unable to reach an agreement in 2022 based on the Istanbul agreements.
The fact is that Russia is militarily invincible. unfortunately, a good chance to reach at least a truce was lost with the refusal to sign the Istanbul agreement.
Nevertheless, he is confident that there is still a possibility for peace. According to him, it is necessary to carefully consider all peace initiatives of different states and come to a decision to end hostilities, and then move on to discussing territorial issues.
In our view, the peace plan of China and Brazil deserves support. Heads of state come and go, but nations, especially neighboring ones, should live in peace and mutual understanding.
