A statement was made: "Everything is already clear with Armenia — everyone knows the situation perfectly well"

The leaders of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) at a meeting in Astana held a discussion of the situation that is developing around Armenia. As a result, a statement was adopted, which will be published soon, said Russian Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

"There, the application was accepted by four managers. ... There was a business discussion of the situation that is developing. And everyone is well aware of this situation," Ushakov said.

At the same time, the Armenian side did not request a separate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the summit in Astana.

"No, a separate discussion was not planned. And there was no request either," Ushakov said.

As EADaily reported, in April 2025, Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian approved the law on the republic's intention to join the EU adopted earlier by the parliament, although the association itself did not even offer membership to the country. Russian President Vladimir Putin, during talks with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on April 1, noted that simultaneous presence in the customs union with the EU and the EAEU is impossible by definition. Pashinyan did not come to the current summit of the EAEU leaders in Astana, citing the election campaign
