Russia has tightened security measures ahead of its annual Victory Day commemorations amid escalating tensions with Ukraine, framing the event as a potential target in what Moscow describes as an emerging psychological war. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova intensified the rhetoric by calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “neo-Nazi leader” and “terrorist,” while also condemning Armenia for hosting him at a major European diplomatic gathering in Yerevan during the EPC Summit in Yerevan. Moscow has further alleged that Ukraine may attempt long-range drone operations targeting deep inside Russian territory, potentially even disrupting Victory Day itself. At the same time, Russia is voicing concern over Armenia’s growing engagement with the European Union, as Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signals closer alignment with Europe, a shift Moscow increasingly views as a strategic rupture in its traditional sphere of influence. #russiaukrainewar, #victoryday, #moscow, #zelensky, #armenia, #putin, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #dronewarfare, #europe, #eu, #southcaucasus, #russianews, #ukrainewar, #nato, #worldnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #TimesNowWorld #WorldNews #BreakingNews
