Media of Ukraine: «Armenia became an accomplice of the war»

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».
