I have another question.

You mentioned that, in the Central Asian countries, the events in Ukraine were described as Russian aggression. According to other experts who have appeared before us, this fear of aggression is often somewhat exaggerated in the Baltic countries to ensure internal cohesion.

How legitimate is this fear of Russian aggression in the Central Asian countries? Is there any real possibility of Russian aggression?
