Ukraine calls on Europe to put pressure on Ivanishvili's govt – Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the leaders of the European Union to put pressure on the current government of Georgia, especially Bidzina Ivanishvili and his associates.
“Unfortunately, Russian-controlled mafia in Georgia is working to pull the country under Putin’s influence and off the European path. The current government in Tbilisi refuses to engage with the EU. I urge you to put pressure, especially on Ivanishvili and his buddies, to ensure they gain no benefits from stealing Georgia’s European future and wasting decades of progress,” Zelenskyy said, addressing EU leaders at a meeting of the European Council on Thursday.
According to the president, not a single country in Europe can be allowed to lose - “if one falls, it brings us all closer to division and conflict.” Zelenskyy also stressed the importance of supporting Moldova's European choice, “and it’s not only about elections but about the prosperity of the people of Moldova – they have to feel the strength of Europe in the fight against poverty.”
