Volodin comments on Zelenskyy`s visit to Yerevan

ArmInfo.Vyacheslav Volodin,  the Speaker of the State Duma, stated that inviting Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the European Political Community summit held  in Yerevan on the eve of Victory Day cannot be considered a friendly  move toward Russia and its citizens.

"It is absolutely clear: this action by Nikol Vovayevich (Pashinyan,  Prime Minister of Armenia - ed.) cannot be called a friendly move  toward our country, Russian citizens, or even the Armenian people,"  Volodin wrote on his channel on the Max platform, as reported by RIA  Novosti.

Earlier, during his speech at the 8th European Political Community  summit in Yerevan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,  threatened Russia with an attack on Moscow during the Victory Day  Parade on May 9. He advised foreign leaders to avoid attending the  parade. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated  at a briefing on May 7 that Russia would not forget Yerevan's silence  amidst Zelenskyy's "terrorist statements" against Moscow. Moreover,  on the same day, Armenian Ambassador to Russia Gurgen Arsenyan was  summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry and a protest was delivered  to him in this regard.
