“All other countries in Central Asia, whose economies are like Uzbekistan’s strongly dependent on that of Russia, have adopted fiercely noncommittal positions. “
“Kazakhstan has also refrained from lending its backing to the declaration of sovereignty made by the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics, but it has at the same time avoided stating categorically that it rejects the claims.”
“The situation around Ukraine is a cause of deep concern for Uzbekistan. We support pursuing a peaceful solution for this situation & to settle this conflict by political & diplomatic means.”
“For that to happen, it is necessary first to bring an end to the military activities and aggression.””
