On November 10, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a response to recent Armenian statements about alleged "hybrid wars" being waged against Yerevan. Commenting on the growing discussions within Armenia, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that it had observed a number of similar remarks from Armenian political figures and experts, including Alen Simonyan, the Speaker of the National Assembly. The ministry recalled that the notion of "hybrid wars" originated with American military theorists and was swiftly implemented in practice.

The statement drew a parallel with developments in neighboring Georgia, where, according to the ministry, Western countries had once again demonstrated their "hybrid" tactics by interfering in Georgia’s internal politics, encouraging "Maidan" sentiments, and using political blackmail to limit Tbilisi’s sovereign choices and European aspirations. The ministry emphasized that such an approach was "alien" to Russia, noting that Moscow had always respected and would continue to respect the sovereign decisions of all nations.

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry highlighted that talk of a "hybrid war" against Armenia coincided with what it described as the persecution of individuals in Armenia who favored closer ties with Russia. It claimed that this pattern mirrored developments in other states, such as Moldova. Moscow expressed readiness to address any concerns raised by Yerevan through parliamentary dialogue or via consultations between the relevant ministries. The ministry also suggested that such cooperation could help "improve the information environment" surrounding Russian–Armenian relations.

Reaffirming its position, the ministry stated that Russia remained a steadfast ally of Armenia and continued to support its "fraternal people" promptly and effectively. As examples, it cited the swift restoration of flood-damaged railway lines in northern Armenia in June 2024 and the rapid organization of wheat shipments in November 2025 through a new railway route connecting Russia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The first delivery reportedly arrived in Armenia on the night of November 6.

According to the ministry, this logistical achievement became possible through the efforts of the Trilateral Working Group on Unblocking Regional Communications and the agreements reached among the leaders of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan between 2020 and 2022. The Russian Foreign Ministry concluded by reaffirming that Russia’s involvement in the normalization of relations between the South Caucasus states had always been guided by respect for their national interests, adding that "the West’s mediation efforts have yet to stand the test of time".
