The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan announced on Monday that Ukrainian Ambassador Petro Vrublevsky apologized for his words about Russians, whom "we are trying to kill more" in Ukraine. This is reported by NUR.KZ.
"You know the situation in Ukraine, against this background such statements are unacceptable, because diplomacy is more aimed at rapprochement," said the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, Aibek Smadiyarov.
"As you know, we invited the Ukrainian ambassador, showed him our displeasure with his statements. He apologized and said that he expressed this against the background of a heightened emotional state, due to the fact that there is a war going on at his home. Now , according to official data, he is on vacation," he added.
It will be recalled that at the end of August, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan summoned the ambassador of Ukraine and protested to him because of his remarks about Russians. The reason for summoning the ambassador was his August 21 interview with Kazakh blogger Dias Kuzairov, in which Vrublevsky said, in particular: "We are trying to kill them as much as possible. The more we kill Russians now, the less our children will have to kill."
