Sibiga thanked Tokayev for his "wisdom" in promoting the interests of Kiev

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga thanked Tokayev for his call to freeze the conflict. He reported this on the social network X.

He called the proposal made the day before by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Omsk "realistic, timely and wise."

"We appreciate President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's appeals to Putin that it is time to stop the war. This is a realistic, timely and wise statement. Ukraine has offered to stop fighting on the current borders and switch to diplomacy, but the Kremlin continues to reject this obvious path to peace," Sibiga said, calling for increased pressure on Moscow.

As EADaily reported, Tokayev's proposal to freeze the Ukrainian conflict did not come as a surprise to the Kremlin. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.

He noted that the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has repeatedly expressed his position. However, his statement at today's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Omsk indicates that Russia is not very effective in communicating its own position to partners. Peskov promised to act in this direction with a vengeance.

Recall, the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed to Vladimir Putin to freeze the Ukrainian conflict and return to the "Istanbul formula 2.0".

Vladimir Putin, responding to Tokayev's proposal, said that he would inform him separately on the Ukrainian issue.
