## Prediction

Over the next week, the EU and selected member states are likely to step up diplomatic engagement with Armenia, offering political backing and exploratory talks on alternative gas, electricity, and fuel arrangements. Publicly, the EU will frame this as support for sovereignty, resilience, and integration, while privately treating it as a test case of Russian coercive leverage. Concrete large-scale energy infrastructure solutions will not materialize within a week, but initial MOUs, technical missions, or funding pledges may be announced.

## Drivers

- Russian threats to suspend gas, fuel, and diamond supplies to Armenia
- Armenia’s visible EU accession trajectory
- EUCOM trend of hardening security architecture in Europe
