President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko held telephone negotiations with Russian colleague Vladimir Putin and Head of Kazakhstan Kasim-Zhomart Tokayev. It is reported by Telegram-channel BELTA.
According to the channel, the heads of state held consultations on the situation in Kazakhstan. It is specified that the leaders of all countries of the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO) are in constant contact.
Protests in Kazakhstan began on Sunday, January 2, due to the increase in gas prices for cars from 60 to 120 tenge (from 10 to 20 rubles) per liter. Soon, economic requirements were replaced by political: the resignation of the government, holding new elections, removing people from the “clan” of the former President of Nursultan Nazarbayev.
