Russia, which has already invaded Ukraine, is waging a “hybrid war” against Georgia and other countries such as Moldova and Romania, a NATO and EU member. Georgian President Salome Zourabishvili told Reuters in an interview.
She urged Western countries on Monday, Dec. 2, to support what she called a “national movement” in support of Georgia’s EU membership after people took to the streets for the fifth consecutive evening and clashed with police, being chased away with water cannons and tear gas, News.ro reports.
In recent days, the Georgian president has repeatedly invoked the electoral situations in Moldova and Romania to argue that Moscow is meddling in the elections and waging a hybrid war in the region. She and Moldovan President Maia Sandu spoke by telephone on Monday. While the Foreign Ministry in Bucharest said Romania stood in solidarity with the Georgian people “in their legitimate struggle for dignity, freedom, and a European future.”
