Russia accused Armenia on Sunday of providing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with what he said was “a platform for anti-Russian statements”, marking a further sign of cooling relations between traditional allies Moscow and Yerevan.

During a visit to Yerevan last week, Zelensky said Russia feared “drones could fly over Red Square” in Moscow during the annual parade on 9 May, to commemorate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.

The parade took place as planned on Saturday in a reduced format, without the usual display of military equipment, due to the risk of Ukrainian drone strikes.

Well, Moscow summoned the Armenian ambassador on Thursday to protest what it described as “terrorist threats against Russia” made by Zelensky in Yerevan.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that the main thing for Russia is that Armenia does not take an anti-Russian stance.

Russia on Thursday also expressed concern that Armenia was being pulled into what it described as the European Union’s “anti-Russian orbit” after hosting a meeting of the European Political Community on May 4.
