Russia scolds ally Armenia for hosting Zelensky

On Thursday, Russia called it "incomprehensible" that Armenia hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a European summit earlier this week, labeling the nation a platform for a "terrorist."
Ties between Armenia and Moscow have frayed in recent years, leading the country to freeze its membership in the Russian-led CSTO military alliance in 2024 following security failures involving Azerbaijan.
On Tuesday, Armenia and the European Union adopted a joint declaration at their summit, recognizing Yerevan's aspiration to join the bloc and deepening economic and security cooperation.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that such cooperation will lead to Yerevan's "irreversible involvement in Brussels' anti-Russian line," cautioning significant political and economic consequences.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told reporters Thursday that Armenia is not an ally of Russia on the Ukraine issue, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin warning in April against simultaneous membership in both blocs.
