Robin Brooks: 'EU exports to Armenia up 200%. What is Brussels doing?'

Armenia helps 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, Robin Brooks, former Chief FX Strategist at Goldman Sachs and Senior Economist at the International Monetary Fund said in a post 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?" he said.
