 Armenia still helps Russia to evade sanctions. Yerevan's activities that helped Russia evade sanctions were once again exposed. Bloomberg Agency reported on this. According to information, the former director of Milanda, Mikhail Pavlyuk, who fled Russia last summer, was sanctioned by the US government for his role in an international criminal group that smuggled semiconductors to Russia through companies in Taiwan, Armenia and Switzerland. Pavlyuk helped smuggle chips from Taiwan to Russia through the Armenian company Miller Electronics, which was established two months after Russia's aggression against Ukraine. This year, US and European officials have increased pressure on the Armenian government to limit re-exports of semiconductors and other dual-use goods. Indeed, after the start of the war, Armenia unexpectedly took fourth place as a country exporting semiconductors to Russia. And in April, US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo visited Armenia to prevent Yerevan from helping Russia evade sanctions. The EU is also fighting to toughen penalties for governments that ignore international sanctions against Russia. A coordinated campaign of political as well as economic pressure poses a strong threat to Armenia and other countries. Many of them rely on constant imports of American and European goods to support their economies.
