EU Gives Armenia €80 Million and Cuts Some Tariffs to Counter Russian Pressure
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced €80 million in aid for Armenia along with the removal of some EU tariffs on Armenian exports. The move is a direct response to Russia's economic pressure on Yerevan following Armenia's pro-Western policy shift, which prompted Moscow to impose its own tariffs and trade restrictions on its former partner. The EU is signalling willingness to deepen ties with Armenia at the cost of further straining relations with Russia.
