Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Security Council Secretary Alen Simonyan's claim that Russia did nothing during the Karabakh war in autumn 2020 distorts reality. According to Zakharova, it was Russia that stopped the bloodshed. She recalled the trilateral statement of 9 November 2020 signed by Putin, Aliyev and Pashinyan.
