"Each new call from Western leaders is more foolish, reckless, and ideologically charged than the previous one, making it more dangerous for the world. They are consciously fuelling the disintegration of their societies by promoting anti-human values."

❗️Key points from the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on the situation in Armenia:

▪️Pashinian's independence message of September 24 contains unacceptable attacks on Russia and can cause nothing but rejection

▪️This is an attempt to absolve oneself of responsibility for failures in domestic and foreign policy by shifting the blame to Moscow

▪️Pashinian's actions confirm the conclusion that the destructive processes instigated by the West for Armenia and relations with Russia are systemic in nature

▪️Russia has always been faithful to its allied obligations, respected Armenian statehood, and has not put the country before a choice

▪️The claims that the protests in Armenia were instigated by Russia have nothing to do with reality

▪️Yerevan is making a huge mistake by deliberately trying to collapse Armenia's multifaceted and centuries-old ties with Russia

▪️Yerevan has launched a real anti-Russian bacchanalia in the Armenian media

🇺🇸Failed presidential runner Hillary Clinton has repeated her discredited claims of Russian interference in US elections

Clinton dusted off the 2016 'Russiagate' conspiracy theory she used to explain her defeat by Donald Trump in an interview with MSNBC's Jen Psaki — the former White House press secretary renowned for her inability to answer journalist's questions.

Psaki claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had "interfered in our elections in the past" — directly contradicting the findings of special counsel John Durham's inquiry that the claim was "uncorroborated" — and asked Clinton if she feared it would happen in 2024.

💬"I don’t think, despite all of the deniers, there is any doubt that he interfered in our election, or that he has interfered in many ways in the internal affairs of other countries, funding political parties, funding political candidates, buying off government officials in different places," Clinton claimed.
