EU Support for Trade Pain: The European Commission approved €34 million in urgent support to help Armenia’s private sector cope with Russia-linked trade restrictions, with trade facilitation and market-access measures. Geopolitics and Security Signals: Armenia showcased new “Atlant” rocket capabilities in drills, while NATO-linked exercises (“Eagle Partner”) are being framed by critics as political rather than military. Regional Trade Moves: Georgia increased imports of Armenian flowers despite Russian restrictions, and new shipments show continued transit links via Azerbaijan, including diesel and grain.
