Georgia's President, Salome Zurabashvili, addressed concerns about Russia's influence and occupation of Georgian territory during a recent interview. She acknowledged Russia's efforts to hinder Georgia's integration into the EU but remained confident in Georgia's commitment to its European path.
Since 2008, Russia has occupied around 20% of Georgian territory, similar to its actions in Ukraine. President Zurabashvili highlighted Russia's strategy of driving divisions between those aligned with Western values and its own vision.
