Ukraine sanctions Georgian leaders over crackdown on pro-EU protests
Briefly

President Zelenskyy sanctioned Georgian officials to respond to their shift towards Russia, condemning their actions as delivering Georgia to Vladimir Putin. He stated, 'This part of the government is handing Georgia over to Putin, and Ukraine will not stand by that.' The measures aim to counter a deliberate move away from European integration.
Following protests against the government's decision to delay EU membership talks until 2028, Zelenskyy's actions reflect Ukraine's stance on Russian influence in its neighboring countries, emphasizing the need for regional solidarity against authoritarianism. He mentioned that Georgia's drift towards Russia jeopardizes not only its sovereignty but also broader geopolitical stability.
