Kazakhstan has not yet made decisions to support anti-Russian sanctions, the countries, on the contrary, intend to expand cooperation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Earlier, the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan published for public discussion a draft order regulating the implementation of sanctions on the supply of certain goods to Russia. Peskov was asked if the Kremlin was following the discussion of this initiative.
“Our governments are in constant contact,” the spokesman replied. “Therefore, no decisions have been made yet. So far, on the contrary, an absolute intention is being declared to further develop our interaction,” he said, speaking about relations between Moscow and Nur-Sultan.
Peskov was also asked if Kazakhstan remains a friendly country. “Of course, of course,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

The draft order of the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan published for public discussion is called “On approval of the rules for the implementation of a pilot project on accounting for the movement of certain types of goods when they are exported from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the territory of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus”.

At the same time, the state revenue authorities “within one working day” must certify copies of the electronic invoices submitted to them or refuse to certify them, “if the country of origin of the goods is a country” that banned the EXPORT of certain types of goods to Russia and Belarus. Refusal to certify invoices actually closes the possibility of supplying such goods to these countries.

His press service also reported that the president did not accept the Order of Alexander Nevsky, which the Russian side offered to award him.
