Russia is intensively looking for ways to circumvent sanctions from democratic countries. #China and the government of Kazakhstan are helping #Russia in this.

Large columns of main tractors go from China through Kazakhstan to Samara (Russia's transport hub). In addition, the Kazakhs are also deploying their troops allegedly "for exercises" in the direction of Russia.

Between February 11, 2022 and March 17, 2022, Kazakhs recorded and warned human rights activists/opposition about the movement of military equipment in Kazakhstan from the southern part of the country to the north, towards Russia.

The impunity for mass executions and torture in Kazakhstan by the Tokayev-Nazarbayev government in January 2022, with the direct support of Putin, as well as the use of the CSTO troops for these purposes,

strengthened Putin that an attack on Ukraine would also remain without a proper response from the international community. In addition, the use of the #CSTO to maintain power by the #Tokayev-#Nazarbayev regime has made them directly dependent on Putin.

Therefore, now any whim of the Kremlin will be carried out in Kazakhstan, including participation in military operations against #Ukraine.

According to our sources, the Kazakh authorities, under the threat of criminal prosecution, taking family members hostage, force them to join the ranks of conscripts on March 27, 2022 to leave to fight in Ukraine.

Officers and ordinary contractors wrote to us that their military units were being sent to some military exercises in western #Kazakhstan. Moreover, they should be in the west of Kazakhstan on April 4, 2022. Through various channels, we receive reports that,@VladGheorgheNi1

under the guise of an exercise, the military is concentrated in Aktau, then transferred across the Caspian Sea to the territory of Russia. Further, the military will be transferred by Russian railway to the territory of Ukraine to participate in the war.

Putin's scenario assumes that there will be a massive shelling of Belarus from the territory of Ukraine, Russian planes from the territory of Ukraine, as well as artillery, so that Lukashenka says that Belarus has been subjected to aggression.

This allows him to make an appeal to the CSTO and allow Kazakhstan to join the war under the guise of protecting its ally in the #CSTO. Thus, all members of the CSTO begin to get involved in the war.

URGENTLY! ATTACK ON THE SON OF DINAR EGEUBAYEVA

On the night of February 4-5, 2023, #journalist Dinara #Egeubayeva reported that an armed attack (with a pistol) had been committed on her son.
The son of Dinara Egeubayeva is a citizen of a member state of the #EuropeanUnion.
2/7
This attack is connected not only with the self-nomination of Dinara Egeubayeva as a deputy to the Mazhilis from a single-mandate district in #Almaty, but also with her consistent and fair criticism of #Tokayev, interviews with victims of torture in January 2022,

@hrw @OSCE

and the requirements of an international investigation into the January executions and #torture.

This armed attack on the son of Dinara Egeubayeva is part of a systemic attack by the #Kazakh authorities on her.
