Pro-Western Armenia and millions of Russia. The FBI revealed the plan - a review on Khachin.az website Lobbyists in America often advertise Armenia as "the most pro-Western country in the South Caucasus", but it is also a fact that Armenia is one of the main "holes" in the mechanism of American sanctions against Russia. Recently, an American court ruled in another case of using Armenia to violate sanctions against Russia, and according to this ruling, the 34-year-old Belarusian citizen Yana Leonova was sentenced to 12 months and a day in prison. She was found guilty of selling US-made aircraft spare parts and components to Russia through Armenia without the proper license. A judge ordered her deportation to Belarus after serving her prison sentence. According to court documents and admissions made during the hearing, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in May 2022, Leonova and its American and Armenian partners illegally purchased aircraft components from American distributors. Leonova and its partners concealed and misrepresented the true end users and final destinations of the ordered components. Through companies located in Armenia and other countries, Leonova and its partners shipped components to Russia without the necessary licenses from the US Department of Commerce, in violation of federal law. Prosecutors said the route through Armenia was designed to hide the final destination and circumvent US export controls. In addition, Leonova, her former Russian employer, and her associates made transfers of payments in US dollars from foreign bank accounts to bank accounts in the United States. The program resulted in dozens of aircraft components being sent to Russia, for which millions of dollars were paid. These components included avionics and other aircraft equipment.
