BREAKING: #Armenia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡² and #Azerbaijan πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ have agreed to sign a formal peace deal which includes an official delimitation of the border by the end of the year.
This deal (if successfully followed through) would be a major diplomatic victory for the European Union.

Just last week intens negotiations between πŸ‡¦πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ were taking place under πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί supervision. The Kremlin was completely left out of the process
News of a possible deal does not mean that peace in the #Caucasus is within reach. The #Kremlin could try to spoil an agreement, #Aliyev is still an expansionist authoritarian, and the future status of #NagornoKarabakh will probably remain undetermined.
It's important to stress that a peace deal between πŸ‡¦πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ does NOT mean a peace deal in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Yerevan has always maintained that NKR is an independent actor and Baku should negotiate with Stepanakert directly.

This deal only entails the official borders

Russians are fleeing wherever they can to escape the conscription.
Long traffic lines at the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί/πŸ‡¬πŸ‡ͺ border. Looks like some people decided to leave the car and continue the final stretch to the border on foot.
