Georgian Prime Minister Criticizes Opposition and Ukraine

As long as the "Georgian Dream" party is in power, the government will not allow the opening of a second front. Georgia will not fight Russia or join anti-Russian sanctions, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said.
"The opposition wants to wage war against Russia, that is, open a second front, which we have been talking about all year... Let’s imagine that today there is a war in Georgia. Everyone understands that our beautiful country will become a testing ground," said Garibashvili. According to him, if Mikhail Saakashvili were in power now, Georgia would cease to exist as a sovereign state.
According to Garibashvili, President of Ukraine Zelensky supported the recent unrest in Tbilisi against the Law on Foreign Agents and thereby demonstrated his interest in "something happened" in Georgia. " Some incomprehensible people have left, Ukrainian politicians, Klitschko, Arahamia, who say that we need a coup. This is direct interference," said Irakli Garibashvili. He also recalled the words of the Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine Danilov, who announced Kiev’s desire to open a "second front" in Georgia and Moldova.
For 15 years Georgia has had no diplomatic and political relations with the Kremlin and no air links. Interaction is only at the level of trade and tourism.
