I don’t share the Government’s cautious rhetoric in order to avoid more fury from Russia. Such a statement made the President of Georgia in an interview with France Inter radio.

“The difference between the Georgian government and me is that I do not share the cautious rhetoric towards Russia. I am outspoken in my support for Ukraine.

I do not share this cautiousness. But I share the idea that it is strategically important for the European Union and the international community not to draw a new line between Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. Russia should not expect to be able to recover its credibility in Georgia after its defeat in Ukraine. We are all in the same boat, and the support and solidarity for Ukraine should extend to Georgia as well.

Russia’s blackmailing expectations of Europe’s dependence on Russian energy supplies failed. Thanks to Ukraine, everyone has learned that it is impossible to be dependent on a non-democratic state”, - said Salome Zourabichvili.
