The selection of employees for the Georgian embassy in Moscow is underway. However, representatives of the ruling “Georgian Dream” party deny this information.
Georgian TV channel Mtavari Arkhi quoted sources as saying that Georgia and Russia are working on restoring diplomatic relations. According to the sources, the selection of staff for the Georgian embassy in Moscow is already underway.
However, representatives of the ruling “Georgian Dream” party refute this information. They called disseminating information about the opening of the Georgian embassy in Russia “unfounded.”
Georgia officially severed diplomatic relations with Russia in 2008 after the invasion of the Russian army and Moscow’s recognition of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
In 2023, relations between Georgia and the U.S. deteriorated due to the adoption of the law on “foreign agents.” The U.S. reacted critically to the move, saying it could limit Georgia’s freedom of speech and civil rights.
In response to the criticism, Georgian authorities made similar statements to Moscow’s rhetoric against Washington. They accused former U.S. Ambassador Kelly Degnan of trying to “destabilize the domestic political situation in Georgia.”
