Kazakhstan to Putin: eat shit
By 
Apparently the Kazakhstan government saw the international reaction to Putin’s war crimes and didn’t want to follow Belarus into the sewer:
Kazakhstan, one of Russia’s closest allies and a southern neighbor, is denying a request for its troops to join the offensive in Ukraine, officials said Friday.
Additionally, the former Soviet republic said it is not recognizing the Russia-created breakaway republics upheld by Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, as a pretext for its aggression in Ukraine.
Putin will probably get the regime change he’s looking for one way or the other, but I suspect it will come at a much greater cost than he anticipated.
