The example of Georgia clearly shows that radical anti-Russian sentiment is fake, and this is confirmed by specific facts. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

As he noted, all of this is a "Deep State" plan to artificially fuel Russophobia through the use of its own agents.

"I believe the public must understand what lies behind the Deep State`s plot to stoke artificial Russophobia in Georgia through its local agents. The Georgian government has repeatedly highlighted that ever since the outbreak of war in Ukraine in 2022, the Global War Party has spared no effort to draw our country into this conflict as an active party and open a second front in Georgia.

This was precisely the "window of opportunity" that posed an existential threat to our nation and its people. The demand for Georgia to open a 2nd front was swiftly followed by directives to join sanctions against Russia, a move calculated to orchestrate the collapse of the Georgian economy.

It was precisely because our Government refused these demands, pursued a sovereign policy, and acted strictly in the state`s national interest that our country became the target of a European bureaucracy and Western leaders acting as puppets for informal oligarchic forces. In this process, various nations unequivocally controlled by the Deep State, including the previous US administration under Biden, activated every available mechanism of pressure: they slapped sanctions on senior officials of the Government, the Honorary Chairman of the ruling party, Bidzina Ivanishvili, Georgian judges, high-ranking police officers, private individuals, and others. Furthermore, they weaponized Georgia`s declared ambition to achieve full EU membership to exert influence on the government.

When even this failed to deliver their desired outcome, because the ruling party, backed by the unwavering support of the Georgian people, refused to submit, they began attempting to drag Georgia into fresh provocations using their local agents.

This represents a qualitatively new phase in the assault mounted against Georgia, the Georgian people, and its national sovereignty, unfolding synchronously across multiple fronts. Informing the public about this new phase of the offensive launched against our country is my precise aim today", -said Irakli Kobakhidze.
