Greece is strengthening its position as an energy hub for Europe, especially in LNG imports, through the Vertical Energy Corridor project aimed at distributing U.S. LNG to Southeastern and Eastern Europe.

This shift comes as Armenia approaches parliamentary elections on June 7, where Prime Minister Pashinyan faces challenges from opposition blocs with ties to Russia. The elections are critical for Armenia's foreign policy realignment towards the EU and U.S. amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and Russia's influence. The U.S. was Greece's main LNG supplier in 2025, with imports significantly increasing, enhancing Greece's strategic role in regional energy security and reshaping supply routes in the wake of the Ukraine conflict.
