European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will visit Azerbaijan and Armenia in early July, in a trip seen as a jab at Russian influence in the region, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is scheduled to visit Azerbaijan and Armenia in early July, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), who cited a European Commission announcement. The trip is framed by the report as a pointed gesture toward Russia, signaling continued EU engagement in the South Caucasus amid Moscow's waning influence in the region. No further itinerary details were provided. The visit follows von der Leyen's previous EU sanctions announcements concerning Russian military personnel, which The Zioneer reported on June 9 (though that earlier measure is not directly tied to the July trip). The visit marks the latest in a series of EU diplomatic moves in the Caucasus, though the announcement itself is a single-source report from one journalist and remains unconfirmed by official EU sources at this time.
