Japarov expressed concern over the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack on Putin's residence

Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov expressed concern over the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the state residence of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod region. This was announced on December 30 by the press secretary of the Kyrgyz leader Askat Alagozov.

"Japarov expressed extreme concern about reports of an attack on the state residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod Region," he wrote on his Facebook page (banned in Russia; owned by Meta Corporation, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation).

According to Japarov, such actions undermine the ongoing negotiation efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
