At a press conference with Merz in Berlin, Tokayev called Putin

“the most acceptable political figure of Russia for Central Asia, Europe, and the entire world.”

“I know him very well. He possesses the most essential qualities for the leader of a large state with a complex history, with his own understanding of the strategic goals facing this country,” the President of Kazakhstan noted.

The face of the German chancellor who was listening to this deserves separate attention.
