Kazakh businessmen continue to work with Ukraine, despite anti-Ukraine propaganda aired by media in Kazakhstan, Charge d'Affaires of Ukraine to Kazakhstan Volodymyr Dzhydzhora has said.

"Despite the enormous negative [propaganda], which the people of Kazakhstan hear in media, Kazakh businessmen continue to work with Ukraine … Interest in Ukraine is growing," he told journalists in Astana.

Dzhydzhora said there are few Ukrainian news sources in Kazakhstan and many pro-Russia news sources.

"After Russia's invasion of Ukraine following the Revolution of Dignity pro-Russia media aired a lot of anti-Ukrainian news. Ukraine's embassy in Kazakhstan is waging war for Ukrainian land not with weapons, but with words, for the minds of people, political and business support," the diplomat said.
