Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the Kremlin on April 1, as the Armenian leader arrived in Moscow for a working visit.

The meeting began in an expanded format with senior officials from both sides in attendance. The Russian delegation included Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk, and other top officials overseeing key sectors such as energy, transport, and communications, Caliber.Az reports via Armenian media.
