Foreign media say that Russian troops have arrived in Kazakhstan. They had gone there at the request of President Qasim Jomar Tokayev.

Authorities opposed the protest with all available police forces, special services and the army. ” Liquefied petroleum gas is widely used by the people of the country for vehicles and the price of LPG has doubled since the government decided to remove the subsidy given for it.

At the same time, the people started agitating from last Sunday (02). Initially, fuel prices were cited as the main reason, but later the protests intensified with the inclusion of other social issues.

The dictatorial president decided to use the army to control the protests, which led to clashes between the two sides. As a result, 18 soldiers and 12 protesters have been reported killed so far.

The Kazakhstan security forces said that nearly 3,000 protesters had been arrested so far.

Meanwhile, the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom and France have called on all concerned to refrain from clashes.

 Russia, meanwhile, has said it will deploy troops as a peacekeeping force. Russia’s security forces say about 2,500 Russian troops have already arrived in Kazakhstan.
