Garibashvili stated reason for refusal to impose sanctions on Russia

Georgia is involved in international sanctions imposed against Russia in connection with the war in Ukraine, but it itself will not be able to conduct restrictions against Russia, taking into account national interests, said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at the Qatari Economic Forum.

“We, Georgians, will not be able to conduct national economic sanctions against Russia due to very natural circumstances, since we have our own national interests, the challenges of our security, the economy. This is our motivation,” TASS quotes him.

According to him, the government provides political support to Ukraine, and not a single company against which sanctions have been imposed will be able to circumvent them through Georgia. “Of course, we are politically support Ukraine on an international platform. At the UN, OSCE we have joined 260 resolutions. Naturally, we are members of international, global financial systems. We very clearly stated that the companies will not have the opportunity to avoid sanctions,” said He.
