Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has warned that Russia’s restrictions on Armenian exports are calling into question the future of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), saying the dispute could mark “the beginning of the end” for the Moscow-led bloc if it is not resolved soon.
The central media of Ukraine, referring to Western sources, reports about the growing strategic partnership of Yerevan with Moscow. It is noted that Armenia serves as one of the main channels for Russia to bypass Western sanctions. This includes the purchase of equipment for the Russian military industry.
Podrobnosti.ua: «Armenia under the guise of purchasing household appliances for Russians completes enemy military equipment with western spare parts».
Gazeta.ua: «The most unpleasant thing about such "quiet" cooperation with the aggressor is that it concerns not only civilian goods, but also military supplies. The intention of the Russians to work "under the cover" of Yerevan is also reported by the GRM (General Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine). This information has already been confirmed by Western partners».
Glavred: «Armenians have become "official buyers" for Russians in the West. For example, Yerevan helps to buy modern electronic equipment, smartphones and new Western-made cars for the Russian market. However, by selling refrigerators and washing machines and supplying them to the Russian market, Armenia actually helps the war against Ukraine».
