My sincere gratitude to President Vahagn Khachaturyan @President_Arm and Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan for their warm congratulations on Ukraine’s Independence Day! The high-level dialogue between our two countries has now been reinvigorated. We hope it will be followed by closer cooperation at other levels and in many areas. The Armenian people have set a steady course toward closer ties with Europe, and Ukraine commends this choice and is ready to help wherever we can.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Thank you, dear @AraratMirzoyan! I highly value the cooperation between Ukraine and Armenia, as well as our mutual interest in strengthening ties between our countries and peoples.

I look forward to continuing our work to further develop our bilateral agenda 🇺🇦🤝🇦🇲

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Prime Minister of Armenia @NikolPashinyan. Relations between Ukraine and Armenia are now becoming even more constructive, and it is important that we maintain a continuous dialogue. We discussed the results of my visit to Armenia and the priority areas for cooperation. I also thank the Prime Minister for his congratulations on the 975th anniversary of the founding of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra – an important date for Christians throughout our region. We agreed to stay in touch.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

I had a good call with Armenian Foreign Minister @AraratMirzoyan. We discussed the development of Ukraine-Armenia relations and ways to further advance our bilateral dialogue.

We followed up on our recent high-level contacts, including President @ZelenskyyUa’s and my visit to Armenia for the European Political Community Summit.

We exchanged views on regional developments and the importance of stability and security in our regions for broader European security.

I informed my colleague about the consequences of Russia’s latest attacks against Ukraine and its continued terror against our people and civilian infrastructure.

We agreed to remain in close contact and continue developing Ukraine-Armenia cooperation.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Nikol Pashinyan wins. Armenia has chosen continuity and confirmed its pro-European direction. An important signal that the future of the region is still being written.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Congratulations @NikolPashinyan on the victory in Armenia’s national elections.

Let us continue building on this renewed momentum to strengthen EU-Armenia relations 🇪🇺🇦🇲

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

Heartfelt congratulations to @NikolPashinyan on your election victory, won despite massive foreign interference. Moldova and Armenia share a commitment to peace and stability in Europe, and I look forward to deepening our dialogue and working closely together in the years ahead.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I congratulate Armenia on holding democratic and free elections, and @NikolPashinyan on his victory. This is also a victory for Armenia’s sovereignty, your independence, and your right to live the way you choose. We wish you success.

Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation, and now is precisely the time for the European Union to provide real support to Armenia and do everything necessary to ensure that people feel their lives are better thanks to their relationship with Europe. This is a test for the European Union. It is important not to lose time or miss opportunities.

I instructed all our missions to international organizations to make full use of the multilateral toolbox in response to last night’s barbaric Russian missile attack on Kyiv.

UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UNESCO should provide an adequate and strong response to the aggressor, which is attempting to compensate for the lack of military advances on the battlefield with terror against civilians.

We immediately request an urgent UN Security Council meeting and a joint meeting of OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation and OSCE Permanent Council.

Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings, museums, schools, and critical infrastructure. He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching IRBMs against peaceful cities.

All of this requires strong and coordinated action by the international community. We urge our partners to resolute multilateral actions aimed at deterring Russia and compelling it toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace.

Today, Armenia has a railway connection with Russia through the territories of Georgia and Azerbaijan, and then with China through the territories of Russia and Kazakhstan. Now, it also has a connection with the European Union through the territories of Georgia and Türkiye. In the near future, the Armenia–Türkiye and Armenia–Azerbaijan railways will open, followed by the Armenia–Iran railway through Nakhchivan. We will witness these events in the near future as a result of the implementation of the TRIPP project.” @NikolPashinyan #CrossroadsOfPeace #Peace #Connectivity #Unblocking

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Putin wanted to show “strength” but only confirmed his weakness.

Overnight, Russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM.

Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack.

As of now, at least two civilian people have been reported killed and many dozens injured. These numbers may grow. Many residential buildings have been damaged.

Unable to achieve any results on the battlefield, Putin turns to terror against civilians.

This strike was probably meant to demonstrate “strength” to the domestic audience, but instead it only confirms Putin’s weakness. Even Russians see that he is a loser.

His “special operation” is not achieving any results. Losses are enormous, but there is not a single achieved goal. Except that there are no safe places in Russia any more, as Ukraine ramps up its special long-range sanctions.

To our allies, I want to say this: it is time to double down, not back down, in supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on the Russian regime.

We call for additional defense capabilities, including to protect our sky; investment in our defense industry; increased pressure on Russia, including entry ban for Russian combatants, full use of frozen assets; strong political decisions with regard to Ukraine’s EU accession and other steps.

The world has the leverage. It needs to be used right — to show Moscow that such strikes will not bring any results — and force Russia to end this war.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Russia violated the ceasefire initiated by Ukraine at midnight between May 5th and 6th.

Russian attacks with the use of 108 drones and 3 missiles continued throughout the night, including morning strikes on Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.

Moscow once again ignored a realistic and fair call to end hostilities, supported by other states and international organisations.

This shows that Russia rejects peace and its fake calls for a ceasefire on May 9th have nothing to do with diplomacy. Putin only cares about military parades, not human lives.

Such attitude necessitates strong and increased pressure on the Russian regime, including new rounds of sanctions, isolation, accountability for Russian crimes, and enhanced support for Ukraine in all areas.

[Nikol Pashinyan @NikolPashinyan]

Great pleasure to welcome EPC colleagues & partners in Yerevan which has become the beating heart of Europe for @EPCArmenia.

I look forward to our discussions on key topics & engagements towards stronger & promising partnerships.

[Nikol Pashinyan @NikolPashinyan]

Met with President @ZelenskyyUa in Yerevan on the margins of @EPCArmenia.

Discussed prospects of 🇦🇲-🇺🇦 bilateral cooperation.

Exchanged views on key regional & global developments. Emphasized importance of advancing sustainable peace.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

In Yerevan, I met with my Armenian counterpart @AraratMirzoyan.

I briefed my colleague on the battlefield situation and peace efforts. The Ukrainian people withstood the most difficult wartime winter — despite Russia’s brutal terror. Ukraine holds the line.

We discussed priority areas of bilateral cooperation, including political dialogue, economic ties, and coordination within international organizations. Agreed on the importance of maintaining active dialogue and strengthening the humanitarian dimension.

I thanked Armenia for supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Together with the Ukrainian delegation led by President @ZelenskyyUa, I arrived in Yerevan. We are here to turn coordination into action and commitments into results.
