Russia-Armenia Relations Collapse as Putin Warns of ‘Ukrainian Scenario’

Russia recalled its ambassador from Armenia for “consultations” after President Putin warned the country could face a “Ukrainian scenario” over its European integration aspirations. Drawing an explicit parallel with the crisis that preceded Russia’s full-scale invasion, Putin demanded Armenia choose between the EU and Russia’s Eurasian Economic Union, and threatened to “raze to the ground” any country attempting to attack Kaliningrad.

Moscow has intensified economic coercion over the past month, restricting Armenian exports and threatening to terminate energy agreements. The crisis reflects a broader unraveling of Russia’s post-Soviet sphere of influence as Ukraine’s resistance inspires other nations to chart independent paths. Zelensky responded by noting that Putin’s threats confirm Russia views EU integration itself as a casus belli.

Crimea Runs Dry as Ukraine’s Supply-Line War Bites

Russian occupation authorities in Crimea imposed gasoline rationing — 20 liters per person per day, distributed by voucher — after Ukrainian strikes severed the M-14 Rostov-Crimea highway. Long lines have formed at gas stations across the peninsula.

The rationing validates Ukraine’s escalating logistics campaign. Ukrainian forces have begun using drones to remotely mine Russian supply roads 100–150 km behind the front lines, targeting the M-14 Mariupol-Melitopol highway and other key routes. Russian sources report that scattered mines regularly shut down nighttime transport and force traffic onto slower alternatives. Together, the mining and deep strikes are systematically degrading Russia’s ability to sustain operations across occupied territories.
