Moscow hinted at a desire to resume diplomatic relations with Georgia

Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin said that ideally Russia and Georgia should restore diplomatic relations.

“For now, due to historical reasons, we have a branch of the Swiss Embassy in Tbilisi, which consists of our diplomats. As well as a branch of the Swiss Embassy in Moscow, which represents the interests of Georgia. And Georgian diplomats work there. That is, relations in general tend to intensify,” Karasin noted.

He also spoke about the intensification of direct flights between the countries. According to him, this process is underway. Karasin did not specify at what stage the work in this direction is.

In addition, the Russian official traditionally accused the West of worsening relations between Moscow and Tbilisi.

“Tbilisi and Moscow understand each other well. The main thing is that they are not interfered with, and that the same Europeans who are now courting and forcing Vladimir Zelensky to do stupid things do not drive wedges into these relations. They are also trying to get their hands on Georgia,” Karasin shared his conclusions.
