“Putin and his gang are not only killing peaceful Ukrainians, but their own country,” Denis Avtonomov, Ukraine’s interim charge d’affaires in Armenia, announced in a conversation with journalists. He assured that due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been going on for about five months, Russia has suffered a lot and listed the defeats that the Russian armed forces have recorded. He specifically mentioned, “The attempt to capture Kyiv and the change of power in the country failed. Russian troops were also defeated in the battles for Kharkiv, suffering unprecedented losses, so they had to retreat. The second defeat of Russian troops. The Russian Armed Forces failed to realize their superiority in the air, despite the fact that Russian TV stations constantly reported about it. The Ukrainian anti-aircraft system became more powerful.
The number of downed Russian planes and helicopters reaches hundreds. In the Black Sea, the Russian troops also failed to gain an advantage. The fourth failure was the escape of the Russian troops from the island of Zmein. The Russian troops called it a show of goodwill, not to show their failure.”
Denis Avtonomov reminded that, starting the war, Vladimir Putin emphasized Russia’s achievements over the past 30 years, but as a contrast to those records, he noted, “Now Russia is regressing in all areas, which is leading Russia to decline. The war showed that the Russian army is capable of winning only at the cost of tens of thousands of its soldiers’ lives.”
According to the charge d’affaires of Ukraine in RA, now Russia is isolated in all spheres. He listed, “Russia is isolated in the diplomatic sphere. Since February 24, Western countries have sent back hundreds of Russian diplomats, and the European Parliament and the British Parliament have banned Russian diplomats from visiting these institutions. A number of international organizations have suspended Russia’s membership. Sanctions are gradually starting to work. The 7th package of sanctions is already in effect.

The withdrawal of car and cosmetic brands from the Russian market, the complication of logistics, and the termination of joint projects also isolate Russia from the international economy. The same in the field of science and sports. Against this background, the countries that protect Russia – North Korea, Nicaragua, Iran, Syria – simply create the illusion that Russia is not isolated. Even the neutrality of these countries is “purchased” by Putin with forgiveness of old debts and other means.”
