The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already responded.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that the main goal of the scandalous “Russian law” is to “prevent Ukrainization.”
“The bill “On Transparency of External Influence” is primarily aimed at protecting Georgia from Ukrainization – strengthening Georgia’s sovereignty and ensuring the stable development of the country, which is a necessary condition for Georgia’s integration into the European Union,” 1tv quotes him .
Kobakhidze claims that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) wanted to organize a revolution in the country, depriving it of a European future. “If NGOs had achieved what they actively tried to do in 2020-2022, namely a change of power through revolution, then today Georgia would be in a worse situation than Ukraine, which means that both peace and European integration would remain in the past,” he said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that it was outraged by the comments of the Georgian prime minister. Diplomats called for respect for the right of citizens to peaceful protest and to seek a solution to the situation through constructive dialogue.
“Using the name of our country in such a disparaging context causes additional harm to Ukrainian-Georgian relations. Russification, and not the mythical “Ukrainization,” is the real threat to Georgia. Ukraine is interested in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere in Georgia, has always strongly supported and continues to support sovereignty and territorial the integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders,” the statement said .

Georgia voted for Russification by law.
Looks that way to me, too, Veth. It’s brazen how Ivanishvili’s minions try to fool people about this. 🙄
“Georgia” voted for no such thing.
It’s an action by the Ivanishvili dictatorship to consolidate power and bring in the one party state.
I’m deeply concerned about what this filthy putler apparatchik has said.
In Moscow when people protest, you get 100 people. In Tbilisi, it is several football stadiums worth. And the protests will continue in Batumi.
All this gives putler the pretext to move his tanks in.
If that happens, no one will help Georgia.
I would like to think that a president Reagan would be on the hotline to putler saying that US AirPower in nearby Turkey will be deployed if such a terrible event takes place.
What will Biden do?
What will Nato do?
What will the EU do?
God help Georgia.
“All this gives putler the pretext to move his tanks in”
Those tanks he doesn’t urgently need in Ukraine. So, a few dozens of T-54s, maybe. And these can be put out of action with Molotov cocktails. I wouldn’t rule it out that the protesters may prevail. 🤔
