Ruben Vardanyan and Ilan Shor are emblematic of post-Soviet oligarchs, whose Kremlin ties fuel unrest in Armenia and Moldova while undermining their democratic aspirations.
Both Vardanyan and Shor embody the Kremlin's strategy in Eurasia, aiming to maintain Russia's influence and disrupt Western integration efforts in their countries.
The West must adopt a unified stance against oligarchs acting as Kremlin agents, to effectively defend western values and support nations pursuing democracy.
The unequal treatment of Vardanyan and Shor highlights the West's inconsistency in combating Russian influence and supporting democracy in Armenia and Moldova.
