Russia Confronts Armenian Ambassador for Ukraine Aid Commitment

Russia summons the Armenian ambassador and criticizes Armenia for distancing itself from Moscow by providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, recalling its envoy to the CSTO defense pact, and planning joint military exercises with the US. The rift between Armenia and Russia has been growing, with Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan expressing dissatisfaction with Russia's lack of support in the conflict with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia has also been accused of re-exporting restricted goods to Russia.
