New Delhi, 08 January 2022

As per news report of BBC, dozens of people have been killed in protests triggered by a rise in fuel prices, but Mr Blinken said the US believes that the Kazakh government can deal with the protests itself. He told reporters that it was unclear why the deployment was happening. The first of about 2,500 Russian-led troops have arrived in Kazakhstan. Officials in Moscow have emphasised that the deployment of its forces under the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Eurasian military alliance of five former Soviet republics and Russia, is temporary.
