Putin’s grip on regional allies loosens again after Armenia snub

Armenia has asked the French president, Emmanuel Macron, to chair peace talks with Azerbaijan in a fresh challenge to Vladimir Putin’s increasingly loose grip on Russia’s regional allies in the wake of the war in Ukraine.

LOL, the video which shows everyone trying to avoid standing near Putin, is very telling.
