Georgia responded to Zelensky’s call to de-occupy Abkhazia and South Ossetia

Georgia has a peace plan, which involves, first of all, restoring contacts with the Abkhazians and Ossetians, and only then resolving territorial issues. This was announced by member of the Georgian parliament from the ruling party Beka Odisharia, commenting on the statement of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.

The day before, Zelensky said that Ukraine’s successful resistance to Russian aggression opens up prospects for Georgia to return its occupied territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

“Thanks to our protection from Russia, new prospects will open up for Georgia to restore its territorial integrity,” the Ukrainian president said during a speech at the summit of the member states of the Joint Expeditionary Force in Sweden. According to Zelensky, such actions will help strengthen overall security in Europe and are important in the historical context. The Ukrainian president identified two alternative options: “either terrorist Russia will succeed in breaking freedom, and then a zone of geopolitical instability will spread across the continent. Either, thanks to the general defense of freedom, Russia will lose.”
