In an interview with FRANCE 24, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili reacted to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Georgian leader said she was "not too convinced" by Russian President Vladimir Putin's assurances that he is willing to stop attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Zurabishvili added that the only party that is escalating the war in Ukraine is Putin himself.
Speaking to FRANCE 24 a day after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, French-born Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili predicted that Moscow will fail in Ukraine just like it failed in Georgia in 2008, saying that "whatever happens, tomorrow's Ukraine will be anti-Russian".
