Overlooked by the EU, Georgia shifts closer to Vladimir Putin. 🔴 Once a victim of Russia's aggression, Georgia is now moving into Vladimir Putin's orbit after a key EU decision that the bloc may come to regret.
All of this has not gone unnoticed by the EU, and on Thursday the bloc decided to grant Ukraine and Moldova status as candidate countries for membership but not Georgia. Instead, the country was simply recognised for its “European perspective”, a kind of prelude to candidacy.
The three former Soviet nations all applied for EU membership shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, and while the Commission said the “door is wide open” for Georgia it still needed to take “necessary steps to move forward”.In the capital Tbilisi, a city of one million people, close to 100,000 demonstrators took to the streets on Monday to show their support for EU membership and to rally against the government.
He likened the situation to the Ukrainian ‘Euromaidan’ revolution in 2013 which ousted then-leader, Viktor Yanukovych, after he rejected the Ukrainian-European association agreement and instead chose closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union .
