the army of kazakhstan is standing guard here on the streets of almaty. after days of violence and many protesters killed, the state security forces seem to be back in control and when we came close to them, the warning not to approach is very clear. gunshot. today, the president was clear, too — any more unrest will be met with lethal force. translation: terrorists| continue to damage state and private property and use weapons against civilians. i have given the order to shoot to kill without warning. president tokayev portrays the protesters as terrorists who are sowing chaos. they say that their movement is peaceful and blame the authorities for provoking the violence. the unrest was triggered by a sharp rise in fuel prices, but this country's corrupt authoritarian regime is unpopular. some of the biggest clashes took place here at the former presidential residence and the mayor's office. the buildings were burned out, and you can see here all these cars were also set on fire. you can hear, again, the shots, but maybe it's the military and police off

there were no peace keeping divisions in kazakhstan. the entire force deployed there is less than a single division in strength. you'd think that alone would dispel any one's concerns about aggression or military occupation. it would take a greater force than that, wouldn't. it? of course is all nonsense. as for the peacekeepers mission, there was one goal to assist kazakhstan, and that goal was completed successfully overseas. there's never been any aggressive intent in the actions of the peacekeepers. they were there to protect strategic facilities and essential infrastructure. in other words, they guarded and ensure the continuous functioning of say, the water supply system and central heating in now, massey as well as electricity communications. you name it, is that a bad thing with this was a crisis. and all that infrastructure could be damaged. have the city been left without heat or water or electricity? it could all have taken a much darker turn and that is what we did was a good thing. it was literally a mission to keep the pac

and then i'll have a follow on kazakhstan. secretary blinken: well, first, ukraine is front and center on the agenda because that's what has precipitated this crisis: russia's threats against ukraine, the prospect of renewed aggression by russia against ukraine. so, that has to be front and center. but there are different places for talking about different issues. we have the strategic stability dialogue, which, as i mentioned, is something that came after the extension of new start as a place to see if we could make further progress on arms control and further reductions. the nato-russia council will be meeting a couple of days later, and that, by the way, will be proceeded by a meeting of the nato-ukraine council. and then we'll have the osce. but in each of these areas, to the extent that there is progress to be made -- and we hope that there is -- actual progress is going to be very difficult to make, if not impossible, in an environment of escalation by russia. so we will see what results, what path russia chooses. but if
