The protests in Kazakhstan were an attempt to destabilize the situation along the Russian perimeter, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said.
“The organizers of the rebellion intended to blow up the situation in this Central Asian republic and generally destabilize the situation along the Russian perimeter in order to weaken our main ally,” the politician said, commenting on the return of CSTO peacekeepers to Minsk.
According to BelTA, the Belarusian leader also called the events in Kazakhstan “external interference in the internal affairs of independent states.”
According to him, the CSTO mission in Kazakhstan has become a signal to everyone “who sharpens the sword along the perimeter of the Belarusian-Russian border.” At the same time, Lukashenka stressed that he was developing a plan to send a military contingent to the republic together with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
“This whole operation, down to the details, was developed by two presidents – Russia and Belarus – within one hour … Everything was done quickly and decisively, without hesitation,” the head of state shared.
Earlier, Lukashenka said that the protests in Kazakhstan were organized by “gang groups” that “showed the whole world the threat of international terrorism.”
Recall that the protests began in Kazakhstan after the New Year. The protesters demanded lower prices for liquefied natural gas. The government of Kazakhstan has resigned, and a state of emergency has been declared in the country. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev requested assistance from the CSTO.
