Political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko stated this in his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert recalled that Kazakhstan includes territories that are inhabited by the Russian population and were artificially annexed to this republic.

If Kazakhstan turns out to be a second Ukraine for some reason, it will be the same with it as with Ukraine,” Ishchenko said.
Kazakhstan could suffer the same fate as Ukraine, says Ishchenko
