Zelenskyy's remarks about the country's dependence on Russia have been criticized in Georgia
Irakli Kirtskhalia, head of the ruling Georgian Dream faction, harshly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a "so-called politician" and a "puppet." Kirtskhalia stated that Zelenskyy should pay attention to the situation in his own country, including issues of corruption, media freedom, and human rights, before criticizing Tbilisi, and refrain from calling for Georgia to be drawn into a military conflict with Russia.
