Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that among those who had launched several attacks on Almaty over the past few days were militants “speaking non-Kazakh languages,” noting that the assailants, whom he called terrorists, were well-trained and well-organized, and likely received orders from a special center. “There were at least six waves of attacks of terrorists at Almaty, total amount of them 20 thousand," Tokayev wrote on Twitter, adding that there should be “no talks with terrorists, we must kill them.”

10 years ago, the Crimeans expelled from Simferopol Petr Poroshenko, who had come from Kiev and decided, for the sake of PR, to act as a mediator between the authorities of Ukraine and Crimea. "Get out of Crimea! Russia!" The Crimeans were shouting.
