Hybrid threat resilience becomes central to the new EU mission in Armenia.<\/p>\n

The Council of the EU has officially launched the EU Partnership Mission in Armenia (EUPM Armenia), a new civilian mission under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) that will help strengthen the country\u2019s resilience against hybrid threats, including cyberattacks and disinformation.<\/p>\n

EUPM Armenia will provide strategic advice, technical expertise and institutional capacity-building in areas including cybersecurity, foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), and illicit financial flows.<\/p>\n

The mission will also establish a dedicated project cell to deliver targeted assistance while promoting a whole-of-government approach to tackling hybrid threats. The Council stressed that the mission is advisory in nature and will not participate in Armenia\u2019s national decision-making.<\/p>\n

According to the Council, the mission forms part of the EU\u2019s broader strategy to strengthen Armenia\u2019s resilience, democratic institutions and security capabilities while fully respecting the country\u2019s sovereignty and ownership.<\/p>\n

The mission follows the adoption of the EU-Armenia Strategic Agenda in December 2025, which identified countering hybrid threats and disinformation as key priorities for bilateral cooperation. Cosmin George Dinescu has been appointed Head of Mission.<\/p>\n

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas described the deployment as part of a broader package of political and economic support for Armenia.
