Kazakhstan: Extremists attempted to block the deployment of Russian paratroopers
A short time ago, a Russian military transport aircraft carrying paratroopers of the Russian Federation arrived in Kazakhstan.
The plane took off from Chkalovsky this morning as part of the assistance to the Republic of Kazakhstan to suppress the protests in the country through the CSTO.
At the same time, the second military aircraft, previously reported by the Avia. pro news agency, will also arrive in Kazakhstan in the next hour and a half.
After the arrival of Russian paratroopers in Alma-Ata, it became known that the extremists tried to block Russian troops in the city. Sources in Alma Ata say that all exits from the city are blocked, including by blocking highways, setting fire to car tyres, etc.
There is no information on the further movements of the Russians who are still in Alma Ata.
How many Russian servicemen were currently transferred to Kazakhstan is unknown, but according to previously published data, we are talking about about 200 servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2 airborne companies).
According to preliminary information, the Russian army will initially be used for clearing the most rebellious cities in Kazakhstan.
After that, they will be sent to Russian strategic sites such as the missile defence test site, the Baikonur cosmodrome, etc.
It is known that. that within the next hour at least two military aircraft will also take off from Belarus. This is evidenced by evidence of the mass transfer of troops to the Machulishchi military airport, located near Minsk.
Among other things, there are also reports that the Russian army is already on the territory of Kazakhstan, as military units located near the border have been transferred to that country.
Latest reports indicate that the riots have escalated and a second police officer has been beheaded.
The atrocity is reminiscent of the Maidan Square uprising in Ukraine, which everyone knows was instigated by the West.
Back then Ukrainian policemen were also beheaded, probably by Tatar Turks

Protests have erupted in Kyrgyzstan where a section of the population opposes the sending of troops to Kazakhstan.
As the CSTO member states agreed to send troops and special forces to Kazakhstan to suppress the extremists and prevent a takeover, mass protests erupted in Kyrgyzstan.
They held a rally in Bishkek, demanding that the decision to send Kyrgyz Armed Forces units to Kazakhstan be annulled.
At the moment it is more of a peaceful gathering, but given the events of the last few years, the situation in Kyrgyzstan could deteriorate very sharply.
Experts, in turn, note that sending troops to Kazakhstan through the CSTO is an extremely important step, as we are not only talking about the future fate of Kazakhstan, but also about the existence of the collective agreement as a whole.
“It cannot be ruled out that the West is trying to find out the position of the CSTO as a whole by doing some kind of ticking, since if the member states of the collective convention did not react to what is happening in Kazakhstan, then there would be the possibility of zero reaction to a direct attack against any of Russia‘s allies, which would free the West‘s hands. ”
Kyrgyzstan‘s position is somewhat surprising, but at the moment the position on providing assistance to Kazakhstan is official,” says a military source.
It should be noted that the security forces have partially managed to take control of the situation in Kazakhstan, but it remains extremely difficult.
In general, the movements of the extremists and the “random” demonstrations in Kyrgyzstan show that there is an organised plan to coordinate these actions and that Moscow has understood who is behind them.
The riots in Kazakhstan are not really motivated as it is the richest country in Eurasia with a very high middle income. Nothing justifies these atrocities unless they are directed.
#Kazakhstan, with a population of 19 million, is by far the richest country in Central Asia, with a GDP per capita of $27,000 and more than $35 billion in reserves, yet it was still possible for the country to devolve into chaos in a matter of days.
