Shalva Papuashvili: Georgia, almost only active supporter of Ukraine without economic and security guarantees

Politics

Georgia is almost the only country in the alliance that supports Ukraine without security and economic guarantees from NATO and the EU, while having two regions occupied by Russia and Russian troops stationed 30 km from the capital Tbilisi, Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili told an interview with AGERPRES on Tuesday in Bucharest. CE Report quoting Agerpres

Without the security and protection guarantees that most countries supporting Ukraine enjoy, escalation with Russia would be unwise, would contradict the policy we have been pursuing for over a decade and, most importantly, would have no effect on Russia. Georgia represents 0.3 percent of Russia's economy and Russia has often used the economic embargo against Georgia - closing the border with Georgia, etc. - because they do not care about the impact of Georgia's economy on Russia, it is marginal, explained the Georgian Parliament Speaker.
