The two diplomats have discussed a number of recent political developments. Lavrov said he had demanded an explanation for comments Blinken made about the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Kazakhstan under the auspices of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), of which Russia and Kazakhstan are members.

“After the president of Kazakhstan asked for help from CSTO in suppressing terrorists, based on the CSTO chapter for assistance, there is a demand that Kazakhstan explain why it is doing what it is doing,” Lavrov continued.
