Is Kazakhstan next after Ukraine? However, China appears to be opposed.
Is Russia trying to conquer Kazakhstan by opening general consulates in every region of this country?
"... Indeed, in the last year the most consistent barrage of Russian threats has targeted Kazakhstan in Central Asia as a possible candidate for Moscow’s territorial aggrandizement and invasion. Presumably such threats are directed at least at Kazakhstan’s northern territory that adjoins the Russian Federation and which many Russian nationalists, not least Aleksandr’ Solzhenitsyn, claim should be or is actually part of Russia proper”. ...
Then it was announced that Russia decided to open a general consulate in Aktau (the Mangystau province of Western Kazakhstan) – in addition to the four existing ones in Astana (Northern Kazakhstan), in Almaty (Southern Kazakhstan), in Oskemen (Eastern Kazakhstan), and in Oral (Western Kazakhstan).

Medvedev went further and stated that it was the Russians who settled (i.e colonized) Kazakhstan before the Kazakhs did. Moreover, Kazakhstan’s recent resettlement programs amount to a form of genocide of the Russians. ...
On the other hand, to judge from the public record, China has contemplated this option when Russia started making threats against Kazakhstan in 2022. As a result, and in view of his publicly expressed esteem for Sino-Kazakh relations in 2022, President Xi Jinping went out of his way in 2022 to warn against just such a scenario. ..."
