Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Russia is losing influence in many countries and highlighted that the Armenian parliamentary elections held on June 7 were a “major success” for the country’s independence.
“The political influence of Russia over other countries is decreasing. Azerbaijan: they are independent. Armenia: yesterday’s elections became a major success for Armenia’s independence. I also believe that the Russians have lost Moldova. Of course, they do not want to lose Ukraine, because an independent and free Ukraine is the largest and most politically dangerous country for Russia. When Ukraine joins the European Union, Putin will face internal problems with various peoples, especially in the Caucasus. Different peoples across Russia will raise questions,” Zelenskyy told The Guardian in an interview.
Zelenskyy had earlier congratulated Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his electoral victory.
