Tokayev praises Putin as acceptable leader for Europe and the world
During a visit to Berlin, Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, where he offered high praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Tokayev described Putin as an 'outstanding statesman' and characterized him as the most acceptable political figure for Central Asia, Europe, and the world.
Tokayev noted that he understands Putin well, asserting that the Russian leader possesses the necessary qualities to manage a major nation with a complex history and clear strategic objectives. Regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Tokayev expressed respect for the Ukrainian people but argued that an immediate end to hostilities is unrealistic in current conditions. Instead, he advocated for a 'freezing' of military actions to facilitate a transition toward a diplomatic process and negotiations.
In response to the geopolitical situation, Chancellor Merz reaffirmed Germany's commitment to supporting Ukraine through military, political, and economic means.
