Moscow Butthurt After Antony Blinken Questions Russian Troops in Kazakhstan
Russia's foreign ministry on Saturday criticized comments from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who on Friday questioned the country's recent decision to send troops to Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan asked Russia to send troops as the nation faces unrest and violent protests sparked by a hike in gas prices.
On Friday, Blinken told reporters that officials have "questions about the nature" of Kazakhstan's request, and added that it would seem that the "Kazakh authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with protests—to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining law and order."
"One lesson of recent history is that once Russians are in your house, it's sometimes very difficult to get them to leave," Blinken added.
