Kyiv • UNN
The President of Ukraine addressed the European Council on the situation in Georgia. Zelenskyy said that the Russian-controlled Georgian government refuses to cooperate with the EU and works in favor of Putin.
The current government of Georgia refuses to cooperate with the EU, so it is necessary to put pressure on Ivanishvili and his subordinates. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a speech at a meeting of the European Council, UNN reports.
"Unfortunately, the Russian-controlled mafia in Georgia is working to drag the country under Putin's influence and turn it away from the European path. The current government in Tbilisi refuses to cooperate with the EU. I urge you to put pressure, especially on Ivanishvili and his cronies, to prevent them from profiting from Georgia's stolen European future and decades of wasted progress. We cannot afford to lose a single country in our Europe, because the fall of one will bring us all closer to division and conflict," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
