In Kazakhstan, for several days in a row, protests have not subsided, which began after the price increase for a liter of liquefied gas to 120 tenge (about 21 rubles). Before that, the price for a liter of gas was 60 tenge. Two days later, clashes between protesters and the police and the military began in Almaty and a number of other cities. Clashes also took place in Aktobe, Taraz, Aktau and other settlements.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held telephone conversations with Kazakh and Belarusian counterparts Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev and Alexander Lukashenko, during which they discussed the situation in Kazakhstan.
