Kazakh human rights activists believe that the Russian side could have contributed to such a court verdict.
“Already two weeks after registering a charitable foundation to help Ukrainians affected by aggression, the Department of Justice of the Atyrau Region realized that it had gone overboard. Or they gave it to them to understand,” the bureau’s statement says.
KIBHR noted that the private foundation was registered by the Department of Justice of the Atyrau region on August 10. Moreover, just two weeks later the department filed a lawsuit to invalidate the state registration and forcibly liquidate the organization.
The decision on liquidation itself dates back to November 3, 2023, but we learned about it only recently, human rights activists added.

“In the lawsuit, the plaintiff argues about the inconsistency of the organization’s Charter with the norms of the law, emphasizing that two-week violations are of an irreparable nature, although nothing has passed and if one really wanted to, it was quite possible to deal with the “violations” (if there were any) resolve the issue,” the statement reads.
Activities of the Kazakh fund in support of Ukrainians
KIBHR also said that during its existence, the head of the fund, thanks to sponsorship support, sent humanitarian aid to Ukrainians affected by the Russian attack in the amount of 5 million tenge, which is about $10,800.
“Perhaps our northern neighbors didn’t like it very much, and our state received an order to get rid of it,” Turarbek Kusainov, head of the Fodt, comments on the court’s decision.
Human rights activists also noted that during this year, all notifications for holding actions of solidarity with the people of Ukraine in Kazakhstan have encountered opposition from local officials.
Kazakhstan’s position on the Russian war against Ukraine
Astana does not openly condemn the war, but does not support Russia either, although it is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
Kazakhstan also banned goods with Russian symbols of war. This is due to the fact that cases of advertising and goods, including children’s, have become more frequent. It was proposed to introduce administrative liability in case of violation.
Kazakhstan has sent $5 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which includes food, medicine and basic necessities.
Kazakhstan also accepts Ukrainian refugees. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, as of July 2023, about 20 thousand Ukrainian refugees lived in Kazakhstan.
