Even by Georgian Dream standards, the regime’s new politically motivated charges against opposition leaders are appalling. This sick behavior mirrors the tactics of their patrons in Moscow and Beijing. The anti-American Georgian Dream regime is betraying its people in favor of

The Georgian side should not take offense at its reflection in the mirror. All of the reasons for Georgia's poor EU accession results are in Tbilisi, not Kyiv. As for Ukraine, we wish the friendly Georgian people only one thing: to realize their European aspirations

Today marks another peak of autocratic repression in Georgia. The GD (Georgian Dream) regime is now putting eight prominent opposition leaders on trial for “crimes against the state”. The language is classic projection. 1/3

The Russian intelligence playbook looks the same everywhere, from Hungary to Georgia, beginning with propaganda and ending in the capture of democratic institutions.
💥Former deputy head of Hungary’s foreign intelligence, Andras Telkes, says that Viktor Orbán’s government cooperated politically with Russia’s SVR when Orbán adopted the Russian spy agency’s narrative claiming the EU was backing Hungary’s opposition leader. More in thread.🧵👇

The EU’s eastward enlargement has long been central to its political and security vision. But for Georgia, that vision has been reduced to rhetoric, unbacked by genuine political will, with the vacuum left behind already being seized by Russia. While Georgians bear the cost of

That’s absolutely right. russia, as a friend of mine once said, is in reality an oil-money-funded KGB operation that has gone too far and should collapse. Its downfall is a moral necessity, not a political choice.
I don’t just want to see ruSSia defeated. I want to see ruSSia collapse. Economically. Politically. Militarily. Socially. I want to see a Free Ukraine. I want to see a Free Georgia. I want to see a Free Ichkeria. I want ruSSia to cease to exist in its current form.

At least four people have been arrested tonight in Georgia. This includes Ioseb Kheoshvili. For him, this might be the second arrest for 'blocking the road', which could mean up to a year in jail. 📷 Mariam Nikuradze
