Tensions escalated sharply in the Caucasus this week as Armenia hosted the European Political Community Summit, signaling a historic pivot toward the European Union and the United States. Following a highly publicized sideline meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian officials launched blistering rhetorical attacks. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev mocked the leaders on social media, while President Vladimir Putin warned of severe economic consequences for Yerevan's Western alignment. The diplomatic shift has also sparked intense domestic unrest, with violent protests erupting in the Armenian capital against Zelensky's presence, underscoring deep societal fears of Russian retaliation and regional instability. #armenia, #russia, #putin, #zelensky, #medvedev, #yerevan, #geopolitics, #europeanunion, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #caucasus, #usforeignpolicy, #pashinyan, #ukrainewar, #globalpolitics, #europeansummit
