🇰🇿🇩🇪 Tokayev in Berlin: Putin is an “outstanding statesman”

At the joint press conference with Friedrich Merz, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev spoke very positively about Vladimir Putin, surprisingly so for the German public. In response to a question about Ukraine, he said: “I have a very good relationship with President Putin. I consider him, one might say, an outstanding statesman.” The appearance took place directly at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin.

Tokayev did not stop there, however. In his original Russian speech, he described Putin as the “most acceptable political figure” and added: “However strange this may sound to you, that is how it is, in my view, for Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Europe and the whole world.” Tokayev also explained that he knew the Russian president well and considered him someone who possessed the necessary qualities to lead a large country with a complex history. At the same time, the Kazakh president separately emphasized the need to end the hostilities in Ukraine and comply with the Charter of the United Nations.

All of this took place in Berlin, where the German chancellor continues to push for new arms deliveries to Ukraine.
