Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Kazakhstan on Wednesday for a two-day visit focused on strengthening ties with Central Asian nations amid ongoing tensions over Ukraine.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, writing in the Izvestia newspaper, expressed support for “peaceful dialogue” without directly addressing the conflict in Ukraine.

In a Kazakh state-run newspaper, Putin highlighted shared cultural and moral values and pledged to deepen “friendly and allied relations” with Kazakhstan.
