Moving to countries surrounding Russia

The withdrawal of the former Soviet Union's satellite states from Russia is becoming more and more obvious. Ukraine is currently at war with Russia and the other is Kazakhstan.

In Kazakhstan, a referendum was held on June 5th to decide whether or not to amend the constitution, and the proposed amendment was approved. The bill aims to eliminate the influence of former President Nazarbayev, who held power for many years, and 77.18% of voters supported the bill, which led to former President Nazarbayev retiring from politics.

Trend of democracy in Kazakhstan

The current constitution grants Nazarbayev, who retired in 2019, a special status as the country's first president and "father of the nation," but the proposed constitutional amendment deletes related provisions. According to the Election Commission, the turnout reached 68.1%.

Electoral system reform will also take place at the same time, and is expected to be a step toward democratization in Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan was a nuclear state

Kazakhstan is one of the countries that became independent from the former Soviet Union after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Because strategic nuclear weapons were deployed in the region, it automatically became a nuclear-weapon state. Ukraine and Belarus also became independent countries while possessing nuclear weapons, but all three countries abandoned their nuclear weapons when they ratified the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

On the other hand, these regions are strategically important to Moscow in relation to NATO, and that is why Russia is so fixated on Ukraine.

Declaration of disapproval in front of Mr. Putin

On June 17, Kazakhstan's current President Tokayev spoke at a plenary session of the International Economic Forum held in St. Petersburg, northwestern Russia, where Russian President Putin was also present. ” Kazakhstan indicated that it would not #ylow# recognize it as an official state. That's exactly what he denied in front of Mr. Putin..

Russian threats

He implicitly criticized Russia for its strict control over speech, saying, ``Kazakhs are an open civil society, and the people have a variety of opinions regarding (Russia's) special military operations.'' In response, on June 18, Mr. Zatulin, a senior member of Russia's ruling party United Russia, said, ``This is a challenge to Russia,'' and ``problems similar to Ukraine could occur in Kazakhs,'' blatantly. He is making serious threats.

Military invasion just by saying something?

To put it simply, Russia's disapproval of pro-Russian armed groups and a series of statements reveal that Russia is not only willing to launch a military invasion, but is also a country that will immediately send troops if it doesn't like it. That's why I don't think he's insane.

Withdrawal of strategic satellite states

In any case, Russia is absolutely pro-Russian and wants to control Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan as satellite states.

Kazakhstan was not one of the five countries that voted against the United Nations resolution condemning Russia, which was adopted on March 2, and abstained.
