They want to tear Armenia away from the Russian Federation at an accelerated pace, but it receives the most benefits from the EAEU, 35% of its economy is tied to this. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated this in an interview with Sputnik radio. According to him, the European Union and the United States are “shamelessly” separating Armenia from the Russian Federation.

The United States is disappointed by the Georgian parliament's decision to promote the Kremlin-inspired law on foreign agents. This was stated by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.

The TU-22M3 bomber plane crashed on the territory of the Krasnogvardeisky district of the Stavropol Territory. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the plane was returning from a combat mission.

An opponent of the law on foreign agents, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili spoke about the decision being discussed by parliament in an interview with CNN. According to her, the country's population will never allow a government that is clearly pro-Russian to remain its government, because it contradicts its basic existential choice.

Russia is waiting for a clear reaction and disavowal from Armenia after the leak of information about military-political agreements with the United States and the EU at a meeting in Brussels on April 5. This ultimatum was put forward to Yerevan by the Russian Foreign Ministry in the person of its representative Maria Zakharova.

The day before, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the village of Borovko, Klimovsky district, Bryansk region. Three servicemen were hospitalized at a local hospital with various injuries: 20-year-old Abubakar Aliyev, 22-year-old Islam Gurzhuev and 29-year-old Dzham Sugaipov. All of them are residents of Chechnya.

Criticism of the West will not be a reason for Georgia to reconsider its decision to adopt a bill on foreign agents. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated this at a briefing. There was no argument behind any of these criticisms, he said.

In an interview with CNN, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili again criticized the bill “on foreign agents” and noted that it is a copy of Putin’s law. She said she would veto the decision.
