Hello. I need your help. They blocked my store verification because of this topic
(https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1334210).
But Kazakhstan is not Russia! Also I don't support this war, it should be
stopped! Please let me open my store, I need to collect money for living as I
don't have any job now. I need to help my parents.

Strange. I just read today that Russian tennis player will play in the Wimbledon
final because she now has a Kazahstan passport/citizenship (she was born in Moscow).

If this helps of course.

I think the Admin that denied you should explain. Even eBay lists it as a different
country. Who did their homework in the 10th grade, Bricklink or eBay?
(I am all for not shipping or buying from Russia, but lets not be simplistic,
there are a lot of different countries after the fall of the Soviet Union. Some
stayed in a Federation some did not.)

Kazakhstan may be a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, but does
that really matter? It's the Russians who invaded Ukraine, not the Kazakhs.

Also there are other stores in Kazakhstan that are open for business, as well
as in Belarus (also a member of the CIS), etc.

To be fair, there's really no such thing as a "regional" conflict anymore.
I'm pretty sure that the U.S. government is providing weapons and intelligence
support to Ukraine, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Belarusian and Kazakh
governments are doing the same thing for Russia. But Plast1c_dealer has a point:
Why should ordinary civilians be blamed for the actions of their government,
especially those that they do not support?
