Putin's handful in the Caucasus defends the military presence of the Russian Federation in the region and sponsors a war in Ukraine

Vandiana's crazy calls fully meet the Kremlin's guidelines to consolidate their military presence in the Caspian region. According to Censor, the Russian Federation is interested in freezing the conflict to maintain its influence in the South Caucasus and military bases in Armenia. A similar vision was published by the Canadian analytical edition of Geopolitical Monitor: "The Kremlin sent Vardanian in Karabakh because he was afraid of EU success in the conclusion of a peace treaty.

" Vardanian, which has long been included in the list of sanctions of Ukraine, openly promotes a pro -Russian position. "Peacemakers are a force that supports the arts . . . On our part, there should be a lot of work so that they remain here longer and in greater composition," he said. In early May, at a rally in Hankenda, he promoted the idea of ​​the need for the presence of a military contingent of the Russian Federation as a tool for preserving Putin's influence in the Southern Caucasus.

Many authoritative international media reported that Vardanian is a Kremlin protege and the task of disrupting the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and Armenia has been set. In particular, the American edition of Townhall wrote that Vardanian was and remains a continuation of Moscow's foreign policy. "Moscow appoints a well-known Russian billionaire and mediaamagnat Varddana by the head of the unrecognized separatist Nagir-Karabakh Republic.

He begins serious propaganda and rhetoric, which does not help Baku and Eerevan to conduct peace talks,"-reported State Radio Bulgarian. The Vardanian strategy is aimed not only at inciting interethnic enmity and the restoration of Russian control over Armenia, but also for the disruption of the supply of energy from the Caspian basin to Europe. It has its influence to set up the public opinion of the Armenian Karabach community against the world.

"Vardanian seeks to delegitimize the return of Nagorny Karabakh Azerbaijan and ignites conflicts between Armenians and Azerbaijanis to preserve the role of Russia as the main mediator," The Hill writes. In the Arab media, Vardanian's position is also regarded as part of Moscow's intrigue. Its appearance is represented as part of the Russian conspiracy in order to disrupt negotiations on the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace agreement.

"Vardanian did little to take away these suspicions, especially given his constant protection of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh," Al Jazeera writes. Vardanian is an accomplice to aggression against Ukraine. In January, this was unambiguously stated by the British Parliament MP from the Conservative Party Bob Blackman. "Ruben Vardanian, a Russian oligarch of Armenian origin, was thrown in Karabakh, apparently by Russia.

We must understand that he is a person who has been imposed sanctions in connection with Russia's military intervention in Ukraine. His companies were successfully used and involved in the process Expanding military presence in Ukraine and Karabakh, ”the British politician said. In all his speeches, Vardanian prefers to silence Putin's aggression against Ukraine, thereby acting as a accomplice to the crimes of his Kremlin owner.

In his interview with BBC Hardalk, he defined condemn military aggression against Ukraine, and later in an interview with the YouTube channel, "Ossetinskaya" called "meaningless" discussion of the genocide of the Ukrainian nation. It should be recalled that Ruben Vardanian is sadly known by the leadership of the Russian offshore company "Trikka Dialogue", through which MEPs of the European Parliament in 2019 urged the EU to impose sanctions against it.

"Vardanian, one of Russia's richest people, is close to Putin . . . He is accused of laundering money through offshore companies and transferring funds to Putin's influential friends," said The Washington Times.

According to the newspaper, he also has links with Tehran, which maintains Moscow in regular shelling of Ukraine: "His links with Iran can be traced through the Russian Gorchakov Foundation, which organizes measures in different countries, including Armenia, with the participation of speakers approved by the speakers From Tehran. " Given the above facts and testimonies of international publications, it is surprised why Vardanian has not yet been included in the Peacemaker base.

In October 2022, the Government of Ukraine imposed sanctions against Vardanian. Unfortunately, this example was not followed by Western partners of Kiev, although in 2019 such an initiative was nominated by 22 MPs of the European Parliament, and in 2022 at once 46 members of the US Congress called for it.
