Putin's Waning Influence Seen in Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict as Armenia Turns from Russia

  • Putin's defeat in Nagorno-Karabakh shows his influence is waning after the Ukraine invasion. Russia did nothing as Azerbaijan seized the region.

  • Armenia is turning away from Russia and the CSTO security bloc, holding military exercises with the U.S. instead.

  • Azerbaijan was emboldened by Armenia's split with Russia to launch an offensive this month, quickly forcing separatists to agree to a ceasefire.

  • Russia lost at least 2 soldiers, showing its military is overstretched. Armenia's PM said it can't rely on Russia for security anymore.

  • Turkey is the winner, backing Azerbaijan militarily and deepening ties. Erdogan visited the region last year, angering Armenia.
