The approximate cost of Rosatom Power Plant construction is 20-25 billion USD.

A clever move to redirect Kremlin’s attention from Kazakhstan. No call to arms - no future sanctions. Economy is safe. For now.

Putin had a chance to test the loyalty of Kazakhstan due to escalating situation in Ukraine. But he didn’t.

Earlier this month Toqayev went on a state visit to France in regards to Kazakh Nuclear Power Plant construction. I think that contract will go to Russia instead.

Bribery on a national level

Such an ultimatum for CSTO states like Kazakhstan, who were largely indecisive in their position on the war in Ukraine will be a lose-lose situation.

Support Russia - be sanctioned. Do not support Russia - leave CSTO and get your oil pipes cut off from Europe.

Will they keep it neutral this time?
