Kobakhidze: The rejection of sanctions against Russia saved Georgia

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that the country's decision not to impose national sanctions against Russia in 2022 was "historic", it saved the country's economy from collapse.

"It was a historic decision and statement voiced by Irakli Garibashvili. Then there was a direct attempt to escalate in Georgia, so that it is involved in a military conflict on the Ukraine," Kobakhidze said.

The imposition of sanctions would lead to the economic destruction of the country, he is sure.

As EADaily reported, Tbilisi joined the international sanctions against Russia, but refused to introduce its own. This has led to a deterioration in Georgia's relations with Ukraine, the United States and the EU.
