The EU says Armenia may join the sanctions against Russia

【Key Focus: EU Foreign Affairs Chief Claims Armenia May Join the Sanctions Against Russia】

On December 2, 2025, Brussels time, Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, stated during a joint press conference following her meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Araratyan:

We expect Armenia to join the sanctions against the Russian Federation. The world order is clearly changing, and strategic alignment with the EU's common foreign and security policy is extremely important for our partners - including Armenia, which currently has a coordination level of 37%. Yes, the sanctions we have imposed on Russia are severe, but we also require our partners to do the same, because we all want this war to end as soon as possible. The economic consequences of this war are very significant for all of us. This is why the sanctions are being implemented - to end the war - and we are also calling on our partners to join the sanctions.
