Charge d’Affaires of Ukraine in Armenia Valeriy Lobach neither confirmed nor denied the information about Zelenskyy’s visit to journalists.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Feb. 12 that since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Armenia has not been an ally of Russia.

However, Pashinyan refused to answer whether the Armenian police would act on the International Criminal Court’s warrant for the arrest of the Russian dictator if Vladimir Putin came to his country.

Zelenskyy arrived in the German capital of Berlin on Feb. 16, where he and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz signed a security guarantee agreement. On the same day, Zelenskyy and his team arrived in France, where the Ukrainian president met with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron. The parties also signed an agreement on security guarantees.

Presidential Spokesman Serhii Nykyforov announced on Feb. 21 that many foreign leaders would arrive in Kyiv on Feb. 24.
