20% of Ukraine is occupied by Russia, this is today’s status quo… I see no sign of this war ending anytime soon - Garibashvili

We already know that 20% of Ukraine is occupied by Russia, this is today’s status quo, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, said the Prime Minister of Georgia t the panel discussion of the Qatar Economic Forum.

“It’s really a difficult time. Europe has not seen a challenge of this scale since the World War II, and therefore this war affects us all. But here I want to remind you that Georgia had a war in 2008 and we know exactly what war means.

We already know that 20% of Ukraine is occupied by Russia, this is today’s status quo, I don"t know what will happen tomorrow, I can’t say, I don’t think anyone knows it“, - said Irakli Garibashvili.

When asked if he is surprised that Ukraine “lasted so long?”, the Head of the Georgian Government answered that in his estimation, everyone is surprised and he does not see any signs that this war will end soon.

“I think everyone is surprised. I see no sign of this war ending anytime soon. This is a problem, but we don’t see enough efforts from the international community to implement the right measures for peace talks to take place”, - added Irakli Garibashvili.
