Iran-Armenia-Russia: The axis against Ukraine revealed

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 08:52:34 GMT

“The world’s second military power”, as Russia had been referred to before it waged war in Ukraine, is reportedly suffering from a severe shortage of both lethal and non-lethal weapons, including drones and missiles. Under sanctions, when it is impossible to obtain arms components and military goods in the usual way, the aggressor is forced to rely on supplies from rogue countries and their accomplices. One of the main accomplices ensuring the supply of sanctioned goods to Russia is Armenia - writes James Wilson.The unholy alliance between Russia, Iran and Armenia emerged despite the focus on Western values declared by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. Actions speak louder than words: a number of easily verifiable facts unambiguously testify that Armenia serves as a major hub to supply sanctioned (including military) goods that support Russian aggression in Ukraine and provides the direct connection between Iran and Russia.Iran recognises Armenian security as its top priori...

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — A reformist coalition led by former Prime Minister Kiril Petkov is the likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election after exit poll results showed it placing first on Sunday.The exit poll conducted by the Gallup International pollster showed the coalition between the We Continue the Change party and the right-wing Democratic Bulgaria with 25.3 %, apparently edging out the center-right GERB party ex-premier Boyko Borissov on 24.7 %.Initial results are expected on Monday, but it could take days before the final official results are announced. If they confirm the exit poll, Petkov’s coalition will be handed a mandate to form a cabinet.It looks, however, that it will be an uphill task for him to find allies to form a governing coalition in a fragmented parliament.In their first comments, political analysts predicted that the results, which do not differ significantly from the previous four elections held within the last two years, could lead to a viable coal...
