Expert: Kazakhstan believes Russia is losing in Ukraine

[REGNUM] The promoters of Western interests in Kazakhstan are convincing the local population that Russia cannot succeed in Ukraine. Kazakh political scientist Maksim Kaznacheev told this to REGNUM on July 19.
They have come to believe this? How very interesting.
The expert noted that Kazakh society is heterogeneous, most of the population adheres to "national-patriotic and pan-Turkic views."

"The lion's share of Kazakhstanis believes that Russia will not 'pull' Ukraine. He believes that the collective West will unite, send money, weapons and equipment to Kiev, and the situation in the conflict zone will return to the situation before February 24," the expert said.

According to Kaznacheev, the successes of Russia and its allies, which are now visible to the naked eye, do not convince the bulk of Kazakhstanis.

“The advance of Russian troops and the liberation of new settlements are ignored or explained by "accident and misunderstanding." People are sincerely convinced that "luck is temporary," and very soon Russia will not withstand the sanctions pressure and will break down,” the political scientist said.

Kaznacheev believes that such a point of view was formed on purpose and is now "supported by Kazakhstan's pro-Western and pro-Turkish elites, as well as the conductors of Western interests in Kazakhstan: foundations, media and public opinion leaders."

"The West in the Kazakh media forms an anti-Russian picture. Common sense and an adequate perception of reality are replaced by ideology. For example, the theses are actively replicated that “social protests are about to break out in Russia, which will bury the current political system under them, and the new political elite will negotiate with the West on the terms of surrender."
