The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern over Armenia's rapprochement with the European Union. In an interview with TASS, Vladislav Maslennikov, Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department of European Problems, stated that this could negatively impact relations with Russia and integration processes in the post-Soviet space.
A rally was held in front of the parliament building in Tbilisi in support of Ukraine and ex-president of Georgia, prisoner Mikheil Saakashvili. The participants held the flags of Ukraine and Georgia, as well as posters with the words "They [Zelensky and Saakashvili] are not afraid of Putin", "Russia is an occupier, Putin is a terrorist."
Earlier, Mikhail Saakashvili expressed confidence in Ukraine's victory in the war with the Russian Federation. He stated that Georgia will also be able to return its lands, and does not rule out that there will be a common border with Ukraine on the Black Sea coast. “It is necessary to prepare for the arrangement of the Georgian-Ukrainian border,” he wrote on his Facebook account, calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “the leader of the free world.”
At the end of May, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the Ukrainian and Georgian peoples would de-occupy their territories and restore just peace and security in the Black Sea region.
