TASHKENT -- Uzbekistan says it does not recognize the pro-Russian separatist-controlled districts in Ukraine's Donbas, known as the Donetsk and Luhansk "people's republics," and has called for a "peaceful solution" to end Russia's unprovoked attack against Ukraine...
"Firstly, the military actions and violence must be stopped right away. The Republic of Uzbekistan recognizes Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We do not recognize the Luhansk and Donetsk republics," Komilov said, adding that his country had historic ties both with Ukraine and Russia...
Uzbekistan is the second country in Central Asia -- a region often allied with Russia -- to break ranks with Moscow over its unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
Earlier in March, Kazakhstan denied a request from Moscow to provide troops for the offensive in Ukraine and also stated that it did not recognize the Kremlin-backed separatist "republics" in Ukraine.
Komilov also said that the Uzbek government was working on ways to prevent any possible impact of international sanctions imposed on Russia in recent days on the Uzbek economy.

Uzbeks - The are the weak link in the Great Chain of Socialism!
Clearly, mighty Uzbekistan is a clear threat to innocent Mother Russia, and must be flattened ASAP.
Kazakhstan has just announce new democratic reform including limiting the power of the President.
All these Russian satellites are seeing the writing on the wall.
Unfortunately I don’t think this means too much. None of the Stans have recognized the other Russian backed breakaway states like Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
I wish America would do something about limiting the power of the President.
And the governors as well.
Just the latest pawn of the NWO who by doing this is provoking Russia to invade them.
Sounds like the leaders of these two former Soviet satellites are exhibiting common sense. Imagine that.
According to our Constitution it’s the job of Congress and the Judiciary to do that.
One brick at a time, and every one matters.
Uzbekistan figured out that if Ukraine can be assimilated into the new Soviet Empire than so can Uzbekistan.
<< I wish America would do something about limiting the power of the President. >>
True enough. Most of the damage done by Biden has been outside of the legislative process β opening our borders, shutting down oil production, the Afghanistan nightmare, etc.
Who, except unbalanced Neocons, gives a flying fook?
They know they’re the dessert if Putin finishes the Ukrainian entre.
So many people worried about Russia invading Romania, Poland, Uzbekistan, etc etc. “The Soviet Empire is coming back.”
Russia hasn’t managed to quell the Ukraine yet and is pulling troops from the east, hiring mercenaries, etc to bolster its efforts. This isn’t the 1940’s and Russia doesn’t have over 2 million men under arms any more.
And from what I’ve read the gear in those Stans might be in better shape than Russia’s.
Uzbeks understand they could be next.
*I wish America would do something about limiting the power of the President.*
Start with giving federal lands to the states where there is a known source of oil. Problem solved-most of them.
Just like that guy in high school constantly provoked to take lunch money from other kids, right?
Also, nice to see that the bar for invasion is now set at "refuses to recognize my conquests."
Uzbeks!!! πππ
