Russia’s withdrawal from Georgia should be included in the act of surrender
President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili In an interview with Bloomberg agency, he said that to any peace agreement regarding Ukraine Russia A provision for the withdrawal of troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia should also be included:
“Russia he must understand where his limits are. Georgian issues should be on the table. No one should think that this is a war Russia it will be resolved until all occupied territories are withdrawn.”
Abkhazia and South Ossetia were part of the Georgian SSR until 1990.
Both autonomous territories declared their independence at that time. Tbilisi has never recognized this act.
“Five Day War”
Russia 20After the “five-day war” with Georgia in 2008, he deployed his troops in these regions and recognized their independence.
Georgia considers Abkhazia and South Ossetia as territories occupied by Russia.
Tbilisi and most countries of the world community accuse Russia of violating the territorial integrity of Georgia.
Only Venezuela, Nauru, Nicaragua and Syria have recognized the “independence” of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
“Another Big Mistake”
According to Zurabishvili, if the West does not demand that Russia withdraw from Georgia as one of the conditions of its capitulation, “another big mistake” will be made.
The President of Georgia expressed his conviction that “Russia has already lost the war in Ukraine, if not the war, from a practical point of view.”
Currently, there are no diplomatic relations between Georgia and Russia.
Nevertheless, Tbilisi Ukraine did not join the sanctions announced by the West on Moscow due to its war.
Although Georgia officially supports Ukraine, it is extremely cautious in its actions and rhetoric on this matter.
The Georgian opposition accuses the government of being pro-Russian.
