Georgia's Implementation of the international sanctions imposed against Russia
Tbilisi. Institute for Development of Freedom of Information publishes the survey: Georgia's Implementation of the international sanctions imposed against Russia.
“In light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one of the most prominent show of support towards Ukraine from the international community was the imposition and enforcement of strict sanctions against the Russian Federation. The government of Georgia initially refused to join the imposed sanctions on Russia on the grounds of perceived economic and political threats facing the country.
The political decision to abstain from participating in sanctions, turned into an important moral and reputational obligation for Georgia not to become a means for Russia to evade international sanctions. In this regard, it is of particular importance that the Georgian authorities, in coordination with international partners, through a fully transparent process, ensure the prevention of any attempt to evade the sanctions on the customs territory of Georgia as well as the financial sector”.
