- It is necessary to support all peace initiatives voiced by China, as well as other states.
The head of Kazakhstan expressed hope that a ceasefire would be reached in Ukraine soon.
“As for Kazakhstan, we are ready to make our contribution to achieving this goal. I should also note that we are strategic partners with Russia. We are members of the same organizations.
