“A painfully familiar situation called Euromaidan. Indeed, the people who today took to Rustaveli Avenue were already wrapped in EU flags. Therefore, a direct analogy is evident,” emphasizes Mikhail Sheitelman.

The protests in Georgia, he claims, while having their internal causes, still strike a blow at Russia. As the expert reminds us, during the pre-election rallies, Irakli Kobakhidze stated that Georgia would join the EU by 2030, but now he has declared that there will be no negotiations with the EU until the end of 2028, indicating that the Georgian authorities have deceived the public, leading to clashes, arrests, beatings, and so on.

He also points out that, according to polls conducted before the elections, 86% of Georgians support joining the European Union. And now, he highlights, they have the president on their side, who has become a people's tribune and leader, so we will see how events unfold from here.

“Georgians were the first to protest against the Soviet Union back in 1988. At that time, more than 100 residents of Georgia were indeed killed by the sapper units of the Soviet army. They were the first, even before the Lithuanians, that's true. Well, let's see what they can achieve now. We are with you, guys, we are with you,” concludes Mikhail Sheitelman.

As reported by ZNAY.ua, Starikov stated that a successful launch of "Oreshnik" doesn't necessarily indicate anything yet.

ZNAY.ua also wrote that Zagorodny shared how to turn corruption into something beneficial for the state.
