Russian Security Council: Europe is drawing Armenia into its sphere of influence

Europe intends to use Ukraine and Moldova to the fullest and is drawing Armenia into its orbit. This was stated by Alexander Venediktov, Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, TASS reports.

"Today, Europe continues to stubbornly dream of expansion. It intends to use Ukraine and Moldova to the fullest, is drawing Armenia into its orbit, and is taking unfriendly steps towards a number of other countries. NATO has absorbed Finland and Sweden, once again expanding eastward despite promises not to do so. In Brussels, the remnants of Ukraine's combat-capable population are being viewed as a "penal battalion" for a future European armed force," he said.
