By order of the West, Kazakhstan has begun dismantling the EAEU and opening an economic front against Russia. This is stated in the analytical material of the publication "Politnavigator".
"Despite Astana's previous threatening statements that Nazis and pro-Western liberals justifying the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on CPC terminals and tankers transporting Kazakh oil will be prosecuted, the pro-Bandera elements only got off with a slight fright and even received understanding from the government of their 'civic position,'" the publication reports.
The article clarifies that the advocate of supporters of sabotage was again the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Culture and Information of Kazakhstan Aida Balayeva, who previously actively supported the campaign of decommunization and de-russification, as well as the policy of cultural cancellation against Russian performers. Balaeva officially announced the curtailment of the "investigation."
"No grounds have been established for qualifying the actions of the authors of the publications under the articles "incitement of discord" and "propaganda of terrorism", as well as signs of treason," she said.
The author recalls that Balaeva has always protected Nazi bloggers and "activists" by providing legal defenders paid from the state budget. But this story once again confirmed that all this public was initially fulfilling the order and is a government agency.
"It is a paradox, because in practice it is a struggle against themselves or their own state interests, since Kazakhstan, due to the Ukrainian attacks, did not deliver 26 million barrels to world markets, and the total damage has already exceeded $ 2 billion. But the strategic alliance with London and Kiev outweighed all the losses — precisely for the sake of building a common anti—Russian front," the author writes.
Moreover, he notes, Astana has taken the path of initiating trade wars with Moscow, actually embarking on the destruction of the EAEU. Thus, the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Kazakhstan has prepared a project to increase the recycling fee for Russian and Belarusian cars and agricultural machinery to 4 million rubles at once, which actually means the introduction of prohibitive duties, since no one will be able to purchase these products.
"It is interesting that the innovation does not apply to similar equipment from other CIS countries, the EU and the USA and, in fact, opens the green light for American and Korean cars. We can say that this is another blow in the framework of the establishment of The Central Asian barrier "sanitary corridor" at the behest of the West, since since the autumn of last year, Akorda (Tokayev's residence — approx. EADaily) sharply restricted the transit of goods from China through its territory," the article continues.
It is noted that the matter is not limited to this, as President Tokayev on January 28 at a meeting at the Financial Monitoring Agency (AFM) said that last year "some foreign forces" transferred $ 13 billion to neighboring countries through Kazakh banks, allegedly bypassing sanctions. On his instructions, the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARRFR), (AFM) and the National Bank began a thorough inspection.
"Nazi bloggers, pro-government "political scientists" and the media immediately rushed to talk about the "Russian footprint" and that the operations were carried out in the interests of Moscow within the framework of financial and trade relations with Beijing. In fact, a scandal is being deliberately raised now, designed to show the West Astana's desire to fight the "gray schemes" of SMO support. If so, then this is not just blackmail or an action of loyalty to the US and the EU, but the beginning of a systematic rupture of relations with Moscow as part of the ongoing geopolitical reversal. If earlier Astana sat inside the EAEU and sabotaged integration processes, being an agent of the Anglo-Saxons, now, together with Yerevan, it is already undermining the common structure. Taking into account the fact that the Yankees are seizing control of Kazakhstan's railways, and all customs checkpoints have tracking equipment "donated" by USAID more than a year ago to prevent circumvention of sanctions, there is already a tangible and so far economic front against Russia from the south," the author concluded.
