Russian president's press secretary Dmitry Peskov sees nothing reprehensible in the handshakes in Yerevan between the Armenian leadership and politicians who are unfriendly to Russia, since the Ukrainian conflict is "not Armenia's war," RIA Novosti reports. "At international summits, everyone greets each other; there is nothing reprehensible in that.

And this is not Armenia's war," Peskov said to renowned Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, answering a question about the handshakes between the Armenian leadership and politicians who are unfriendly to Russia at the Armenia-EU summit. On May 4-5, the European Political Community summit was held in Yerevan, which was also attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
