🇰🇿 MEET KAZAKHSTAN: PUTIN'S NEW NUCLEAR PET...
Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer (43% of global supply), is at the center of a new geopolitical scramble.
Once part of the Soviet Union, it became independent in 1991 but has remained closely tied to Moscow—economically and militarily—through alliances like the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization).
Putin: “As for the projects in energy, we might expand our cooperation in the field of nuclear power because we’ve already started working together.”
While Russia tries to deepen ties, Kazakhstan has cautiously balanced relations with China and the West, maintaining a neutral stance in conflicts like Ukraine.
During the 2022 protests, Moscow sent troops to quell unrest, reinforcing its influence—but Kazakhstan has since sought greater independence, avoiding overt support for Russian wars.
But now, it appears Putin wants a bigger piece of the uranium pie.
