Russia is introducing restrictions on the import of dairy products from Armenia as of  27 July 2026, following inspections that identified a number of violations at Armenian milk processing facilities, AzerNEWS website reports. 

According to Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor), its specialists inspected Armenian dairy enterprises between 14-21 July that had previously been authorised to export products to the Russian market under guarantees provided by Armenia’s veterinary authorities. 

Rosselkhoznadzor said the inspections revealed violations, prompting the agency to impose measures aimed at protecting consumers. These were not specified, AzerNews notes.
