The Foreign Ministry said that Kazakhstan is used by Ukraine to launch drones in Russia

Ukraine uses the airspace of Kazakhstan, Russia's partner in the CSTO, for drone attacks on Russian territory, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"On June 19 and 20, the facts of the flight of several dozen unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the territory of the West Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan were recorded, apparently with the aim of launching strikes in Russia," the diplomat said in her commentary published on Saturday, June 21.

"We strongly condemn such actions against our ally and member of the CSTO. What happened once again shows the unprincipled nature of the neo-Nazi dictatorship in Kiev. Its leaders, who are so greedy for ranting about the territorial integrity of Ukraine, are indifferent to the territorial integrity of other countries, which they are increasingly violating," Zakharova said.

She called on all responsible governments and relevant international structures to pay attention to such provocations, to properly respond to such antics, and most importantly, to publicly distance themselves from the Kiev regime and its Western curators, who recklessly endanger the security of the entire Eurasian region.

"It is absolutely obvious that Zelensky's criminal regime, fostered by NATO members, poses an increasingly real and serious threat not only to Russia, but also to the countries with which Kiev is trying to build a constructive dialogue in words," the diplomat stressed.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry added that "what happened once again proves the need to strengthen collective security measures within the framework of the CSTO."
