The President of Ukraine can also visit Azerbaijan.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky plans to visit Armenia next week amid rising tensions between the country and Russia. This was reported by the Armenian service of Radio Liberty , citing a diplomatic source.
According to the media interlocutor, the visit will probably take place on March 4. After this, Zelensky will also travel to Azerbaijan.
At the same time, the Armenian Foreign Ministry neither confirmed nor denied this information, noting only that they inform the public about the visits of foreign leaders “on time.” In turn, Charge d’Affaires of Ukraine in Yerevan Valery Lobach also spoke with restraint about the possibility of such a trip. noting that “spring will bring positive events to Armenia.”
“The news about Zelensky’s possible trip came after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s recent visits to Germany and France, during which he stepped up his criticism of Russia. In particular, Pashinyan for the first time condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the publication writes.
At the same time, lawmakers representing Pashinyan’s ruling Civil Contract party recalled that the Ukrainian president, who has not visited a single non-Baltic former Soviet state since the start of the war with Russia, should visit Yerevan. In particular, Babken Tunyan recalled that Zelensky is “the elected leader of his country”
“And, like other heads of state, he can visit Armenia if there are no special obstacles,” the politician said.
Another pro-government Armenian MP, Gagik Melkonyan, spoke out even more radically.
“We don’t care how Russia reacts or does not react (to Zelensky’s visit to Armenia – UNIAN),” the parliamentarian noted.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently said that Russia and Armenia now have “diametrically opposed views” on the war in Ukraine. And Dmitry Suslov, a senior analyst at the Kremlin-linked Russian Foreign and Defense Policy Council, said Zelensky’s visit to Armenia could mark a “point of no return” in the breakdown of bilateral ties.

Not the smartest move in the world to let mafia land know that your enemy’s leader is visiting a russian infested country.
My initial reaction, too, Foccusser. I hope he knows what he’s doing. But I’ve got doubts. What’s going on in his mind, really? 😳
That’s all??? Instead of adressing the nation, informing ukrainians about the dire situation at the front, also due to lack of US support, he will travel to Armenia? What brave leader! Where is Petro Poroshenko?!
Hell of a lot braver than the bunker dwarf.
I suppose you are referring to Petro.
Nope, Zelensky.
Just to be clear – “the bunker dwarf” refers to Putin, and you’re saying that President Zelensky is a lot braver than putler?
A million times braver than putler.
I don’t know either what the reason is, but Armenia used to be a pro-Russian country while now it isn’t anymore.
But there are some things that are of interest of Ukraine in Armenia, such as Russians evading sanctions through Armenia or Armenia being a safe haven for Russians.
Azerbaijan might be interesting as they can deliver gas and ammunition.

Perhaps he went there to remind them they could be next.
Whom is next in line after Zelenskyy curious?🤔
Ouch! But that’s a reasonable question. By law, it’s the chairman of the Parliament, a guy named Ruslan Stefanchuk.
