Amid the war against Ukraine, Russians are no longer welcome literally everywhere. They are negatively disposed towards the Russian occupiers in Kazakhstan, where they are said to be rented.
The journalists decided to find out if it is more difficult for Russian citizens to rent an apartment in Kazakhstan than for Kazakhstanis themselves, channel 24 writes . For the experiment, we found an ad that offered to rent an apartment in the center of Almaty for $883.
Journalists found out if it is difficult for Russians to rent an apartment in Kazakhstan
As journalists noted, the cost of renting an apartment is about $240 higher than the average salary in Almaty. During a phone call, journalists asked the woman who submitted the ad whether she was renting an apartment to Russian citizens.
In response, she said that she would probably not deal with registration if the client needed it. After that, the journalist clarified that he did not need it and asked if Russian citizenship matters.
The woman answered this rather succinctly – “Actually, tell me, “Whose Crimea?” It is with this question that Kazakhstan tries to identify Russians who are still conscious, or simply teach that Crimea is Ukraine!

What is Kazakhstan's position on the war in Ukraine
Kazakh President Kasim-Jomart Tokayev at the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, in the presence of Vladimir Putin, refused to recognize the legitimacy of the so-called quasi-republics in the Donbass. The leader of Kazakhstan stressed that his country also does not recognize the independence of either Taiwan, or Kosovo, or Abkhazia, or South Ossetia.
Then Tokayev confirmed his statement, explaining why Kazakhstan does not recognize the quasi-republics. The President of Kazakhstan noted the support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky personally thanked Tokayev for his position on non-recognition of the quasi-republics in the Donbas.
The people of Kazakhstan also support Ukraine. So, in the summer, the Russians got in the resort area of Zhasibay, Pavlodar region. There, the Russians complained that they were not very friendly, because there was a sticker with the symbol “Z” on the back of their car.
