Turbulence Across Eurasia Will Not Slow Kazakhstan’s Progress The unfolding events in the post-Soviet space are challenging, but they will not derail our country’s march forward. The Russian-Ukraine conflict is a tragedy the scale of which the European continent has not experienced since long ago. Just two months prior to the outbreak of this war, Kazakhstan experienced its own tragedy: nationwide demonstrations that escalated to violence unprecedented in this country’s thirty years of independence. We are still recovering from those wounds, but we are fully committed to learn lessons and to boldly address challenges and move forward.
