Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to withdraw the country's peacekeeping forces and border guards from various parts of Armenia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was cited as saying on Thursday by Russian media.

Putin and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reached an agreement on the issue at a meeting, Peskov said, noting that Russian border guards will, however, remain on Armenia's borders with Türkiye and Iran at Yerevan's request.
