Georgia

Georgia is a country in the Caucasus with its capital in Tbilisi, bordering Russia. In 2024 the ruling Georgian Dream party passed a “foreign agents” law, after which the EU halted Georgia’s accession process, and following the parliamentary elections Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that talks on joining the EU would be put off until 2028. Mass protests broke out in Tbilisi, and in December 2024 Ukraine imposed sanctions on the Georgian government over the crackdown on the protests. Georgian Dream’s candidate Mikheil Kavelashvili was then elected president, a result rejected by the outgoing president Salome Zourabichvili and the opposition. In May 2026 Zelenskyy said Ukraine was working to reset relations with Georgia.
