Kyrgyzstan President Appeals to US & UK Over Sanctions, Blaming Political Motivation

Kyrgyzstan’s president issued a plea to U.S. and UK leaders, expressing concern over recent sanctions targeting his nation’s financial institutions and crypto firms. The sanctions, which include penalties against Kyrgyz banks and digital assets linked to Russia, were implemented by the U.K. and U.S., despite President Sadyr Zhaparov arguing they lack sufficient evidence and will not affect Russia’s trade with Western countries. He accused the governments of targeting Kyrgyzstan without providing proof of wrongdoing, adding that sanctions have no effect on Russia. ]
