Alcohol consumption among Russians has been steadily declining. November 2025 saw the eighth consecutive monthly decline, bringing the figures close to the minimum levels of 1997-1998.
In response to a recent statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuashvili said that the country would restore its territorial integrity peacefully.
Recall that Zelensky said: “Ukraine’s victory in the war with the Russian Federation will give Georgia and Moldova the opportunity to restore their territorial integrity. This is a chance for peace in the South Caucasus.” The head of the Ukrainian state had in mind the return of Georgia to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which are actually under Russian control.
Earlier, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that his country supports Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, but will not impose direct sanctions against Russia. According to him, the Georgian economy will collapse if anti-Russian sanctions are introduced.
