Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has praised the recent U.S.-Russia talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

"This is a good initiative; it is also beneficial for Kazakhstan," he said. "We will try to support it as much as possible."

Tokayev's comments are the first official response from Central Asia to the talks, which sparked serious international debate. Central Asia has been officially neutral in the Ukrainian war and has been largely silent on the three-year-old conflict.
