Kazakhstan is not Russia, and in fact they're rather alarmed by recent Russian sabre-rattlijg about reclaiming land in northern KZ to protect Russian speakers etc (heard this one before?).
The current leadership is very much indebted to Putin though for saving them during a recent near-revolution, so they're walking a tightrope.

Not because Putin is a Bond villain super genius but just because encouraging chaos and unrest and then playing all sides of a conflict is a standard technique of Russian foreign relations. Edit: and also used in Russian domestic affairs, didn’t mean to leave that out!
