Georgia has been struggling against Russia for the last 300 years. Our national identity historically has always been European and currently by all relevant polls over 85% of Georgians want the country to strive for EU and NATO membership. Only thing preventing and slowing down the process is the current government elected in 2012, which outwardly also plays a game of being pro EU, but with time, especially in the last 4-6 years has slowly shifted to autocracy and tried to move the country closer to Russia inch by inch. They have employed every play in the KGB playbook to deceive their own people into submission. Despite this, we are still candidates for EU membership. Solely due to Georgian people, we are still outperforming ourselves in all the major metrics required for ascension to the EU. Whatever happens, we will never look towards north with anything but contempt and resolve to return our occupied lands. Georgian people will not stand for it ! We will do everything in our power to consolidate this movement and say no to pro-Russian government in the upcoming October elections. Until then, we hope for all the support we can get from our closest European friends and strategic partner the US. This is a part of larger strife by Russia to extend its spheres of influence into Caucasus or post soviet countries in general and if there is a lesson to be learned from the last 20 years of European politics, especially the Russo-Georgian war of 2008 after which Russia cemented its occupation of 20% of our country, occupation of Crimea in 2014 or current murderous war in our brotherly Ukraine, is that Russia should be stopped by any means possible !

The decision you're blaming to be taken in Moscow will be talen by the european commission in Bruxelles. Don't trade plague with cholera. Have good relation with the countries of UE, never, never join this organisation. Many former eastern Europe countries which once were part of the Varsaw pact and tied to USSR see a close ressemblance between their former master and the way UE works.

Terrific reporting, let it be said.

[@rogerberryman6467]

Excellent analysis.

[@glitchysoup6322]

I do not understand, why they don't make a clause that only organizations from undemocratic countries can be labeled as foreign agents. It would solve the main issue.

[@bdcalling1391]

Same as what happened to Ukraine

[@Umberto-eo5ch]

It’s evident the US and EU were desperate to catch up to China and Russia that they started these protests because they know their Trillion debt and lacking Energy is checkmate

[@michaelhenault1444]

Nice reporting. 💯

SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TWICE. Putlerite Kleptofascist Imperialism.has to end.🙏🇺🇦🇪🇺🇮🇪

[@Umberto-eo5ch]

Sadly Ukraine has been taken hostage by the US and Europe, sending mercenaries and weapons while Ukrainians leave the country, Ukraine has been sold by a corrupted cohort in the EU and US government to take away Ukrainian liberty, forcing and herding men to fight, literally there’s videos of Ukranians hunting ordinary people to force them and in Europe they’re also commuting this genocide and blaming it on Russia, sending weapons there like Taiwan, and using taxpayer money.

[@kavangillespie5413]

Done on purpose, as an excuse for Russia to invade.

[@Umberto-eo5ch]

Agents of the EU literally staged protests in Ukraine in 2014. Literally 8 YEARS went by before Russia finally entered to save Ukraine.

[@donovan8747]

Don't think Russia can invade another country in the current situation.

[@PraneshSacher]

Georgia is only a 3 Mil. people. Russia thinks it can put them into their pocket. And this is what Russia does with all it's neighbors. .... never give in, never give up
