Tokayev Called On Putin To End The War In Ukraine

The President of Kazakhstan made an unexpected statement.

Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has proposed that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin consider the possibility of a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, according to OBOZ.UA. He expressed this view following a series of signals he received from representatives of Europe and the United States.

Tokayev made this statement during a joint meeting with the Kremlin leader in Omsk, Russia; the video was published by pro-government media. The Kazakhstani leader believes that the war should be stopped and that discussions should resume on the so-called “Istanbul Formula 2.0.”

““I won’t hide the fact that I’m receiving many signals. I informed you about them over the phone from Europe and the United States—signals concerning the current state of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia,” Tokayev told Putin.

He emphasized that from the very beginning he had viewed the war between Russia and Ukraine as an interstate conflict, not an internal one. At the same time, Tokayev said that his country respects the Ukrainian people, their culture, and their language, adding that the true causes of this war remain “not entirely clear to many, including us.”

By way of comparison, the President of Kazakhstan cited the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, noting that “there, the causes of that conflict were absolutely clear to us; they were rooted deep in history.” However, the situation surrounding Russia’s war against Ukraine, he said, is, on the contrary, much more difficult to explain.

Separately, Tokayev spoke positively about Putin’s actions during the meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, in August 2025 and noted the “diplomatic flexibility” demonstrated by the dictator.

“All of this must be stopped... And, in my humble opinion, perhaps this conflict should already be frozen and we should return to the ‘Istanbul Formula 2.0,’ since significant results were achieved there. “And then, of course, under the guarantees of the great powers, including Russia,” he concluded.
