What happened
Dmitry Medvedev warned Armenia against becoming a “new Ukraine” during security talks. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan responded, stating that Armenia faced serious security threats without receiving expected assistance from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Pashinyan also questioned the warning, suggesting similar comparisons could be made regarding Russia's own security situation.
