Robin Brooks: EU exports to Armenia increases by 200%, where is Brussels looking?

Armenia is helping Russia to circumvent EU sanctions, as evidenced by the sharp increase in exports of products from EU countries to Armenia since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

According to Report, the chief economist of the Institute of International Finance (IIF), former chief currency strategist of Goldman Sachs and senior economist of the International Monetary Fund Robin Brooks wrote about this on the social network X.

You have to wonder what's going on in the EU. Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a big threat to everything the EU stands for. But then there many examples like this: EU exports to Armenia up 200% since the invasion. This stuff goes to Russia and helps Putin. What is Brussels doing? pic.twitter.com/vqpoqCjUyZ
