Every neighbor of Russia has heard the words about Armenia, whose people are the only ones who have the right and will choose the future for their country, and what Russia is saying about Armenia is not really about them alone, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, reports UNN.

The President pointed out that “Russia could have ended the war with peace long ago, but it chooses to prolong and expand it.”
“It is now threatening other neighboring countries even more openly than before. Every neighbor of Russia has heard the words about Armenia, whose people are the only ones who have the right and will choose the future for their country. And what Russia is saying about Armenia is not really about them alone. Everyone needs to think more about security and take more joint steps so that political partnerships work and that there are modern defense industries, modern defense capabilities, and also maximally branched, diversified economic ties. So that no one depends on Russia and does not give them tools to blackmail peoples,” Zelenskyy emphasized in his traditional evening address.
He noted: “We very much hope that Europe’s positions on these issues – and the European Union, first and foremost – will be principled, strong, and timely.”
“No one should be left without support. Europe has no right to lose any nation, to let any country slip away. Armenia must be supported. Moldova must be supported. The Baltic states. Azerbaijan must be supported. Ways must be found to support the people of Georgia, and this is a common European task. No one can be lost. And I am grateful to everyone in Europe who supports us, supports Ukraine – who supports us sufficiently and with exactly those decisions, with exactly those steps that can truly help us,” the President stated.
