Press Secretary of the President of Kazakhstan Ruslan Zheldibay, at the request of Tengrinews.kz, confirmed the previously published information about this.
In particular, Kazakh political scientist Yerbola Yedilov reported that Tokayev thanked the Russian side for the honor, explaining that “it was decided that he would not accept either domestic or foreign awards until the end of his presidential term.”
“For the same reason, during a recent visit to Bishkek, the president refused the highest order of Kyrgyzstan” Manas “of the first degree,” Edilov said.
On June 17, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Tokayev, in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, stated that Kazakhstan do not recognize the so-called “LDNR”, under the guise of protecting which the Russian army openly invaded Ukraine in February.
