> Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Alexey Shevtsov says gas from any other potential supplier would cost Armenia substantially more than Russia’s preferential deliveries. Russia supplied over 2.2 billion cubic meters in 2025, about 83% of Armenia’s total gas imports. Shevtsov says diversification would bring added costs and could mean nearly $1.58 billion in annual overpayment at current European prices.
