Zelensky and Pashinyan Say Bilateral Ties Are Growing More Constructive

Their pledge to keep continuous contact was presented as a step toward deeper political and practical cooperation that reflects Armenia's turn away from reliance on Moscow.

Overview

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky phoned Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to review the results of Zelensky's recent visit and to identify priority areas for cooperation, the leaders said.
  • Zelensky wrote that relations between the two countries are "becoming even more constructive" and stressed the need for continuous dialogue, comments reported by Ukrinform and the Kyiv Independent.
  • The leaders agreed to stay in touch and exchanged personal courtesies, with Zelensky thanking Pashinyan for congratulating him on the 975th anniversary of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
  • No detailed agreements were published after the call, with reporting saying priority sectors were identified but specific cooperation measures have not been disclosed.
  • Analysts and the coverage point to a wider political context in which Armenia has been moving away from its traditional security reliance on Russia since the September 2023 Nagorno-Karabakh offensive, which could make closer ties with Ukraine regionally significant.
