Claim 2: “Russia’s share in foreign trade is about 19%”
CORROBORATED
One web search result explicitly states 'Russia accounts for around 20% of Kazakhstan’s foreign trade', which closely aligns with the claim of 'about 19%'. While the Wikipedia result mentions a 19.7% increase in total turnover, the specific percentage of trade share is corroborated by the web search result mentioning Tokayev.

Claim 3: “The trade turnover increased to record high almost $29 bln”
CORROBORATED
Two independent sources confirm the trade turnover is reaching record levels near this figure: one source mentions President Tokayev stating it is 'reaching record levels — about 30 billion dollars', and another source specifies bilateral trade reached '$26.34 billion in 2024' with an aim to hit $30 billion. This supports the claim that it has reached a record high of nearly $29 billion.
