The way to normal relations with Russia is to keep Russia within its own borders - Salome Zourabichvili

The way to normal relations with Russia is to keep Russia within its own borders, said the President of Georgia in her speech at the Oxford Union.

“I am sure, and President Volodymyr Zelensky said here, in this hall, that [Ukraine] will not start negotiations with Russia on giving up its territories. And, I think, no one can negotiate the cession of other people’s territories anymore.

The way to normal relations with normal Russia is to keep Russia within its own borders…

Therefore, the next negotiations should be global negotiations. They have to cover all the territories occupied by Russia... and then we can start talking about the architecture of European security, cooperation, dialogue, everything. It paves the way for everything, because it paves the way for Russia to become normal.

And if we don’t make Russia normal... then we will continue the same, Russia will somehow digest the defeat and start again as soon as it can, to show its power again”, - said Salome Zourabichvili.
