Earlier, Tokayev publicly refused to recognize the “LDNR”.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, by publicly refusing to recognize the “DPR” and “LPR” groups in Putin’s presence, hinted to the dictator that he had already lost.
This opinion was expressed by the Russian opposition leader Gennady Gudkov on the air of Channel 24 .
“This is not a direct language, but Tokayev told him with this: “Volodya, you lost. I don’t want to have anything to do with you so that there are no problems later,” the politician explained.
According to Gudkov, Tokayev thus not only pointed to the actual defeat of the dictator in the war, but also the possible “loss of the country.” Gudkov does not believe in a clearly orchestrated “performance”.
“This is a conspiracy theory, which has not yet been confirmed,” he said.
Gudkov is convinced that if the “performance” had been agreed in advance, Tokayev would not have spoken about the non-recognition of the “LDNR” personally to Putin, but would have done it non-publicly.

Of course, it was not a performance. What purpose would this have? For putler, everything must have the impression of being peachy keen. Tokayev slam-dunked the rodent ice-cold. I wouldn’t be surprised if Putler will try to get revenge for this public humiliation.
Yeah, no doubt Putler will try to export some Novichok or something. I don’t see what the big deal is though, nobody recognizes Putin’s claims, heck, he didn’t even recognize them until he wanted to invade Ukraine the 2nd time back in February.
Put-put’s feelings are hurt. After all, he did help Tokayev during the winter uprisings. How much, I don’t know, but Putler supported him. So, this trouncing of Putler came as a very big surprise to many. I’m curious as to how this will end; will it cause an invasion, or just fizzle into nothingness, or somewhere in between?
I would guess Vladolf would present Toke with kompromat and Toke will say, GFY and then I would guess Vladolf goes after Toke’s family. KGB will continue until they’re not breathing.
Now, if other countries (Georgia, Moldova, Finland, Japan, Estonia, etc.) join Toke, Vladolf is toast.
May the division amoung the rashists be amplified.
