Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matviyenko congratulated Ingushetia on the 256th anniversary of its accession to Russia, noting the "dynamic development" and growth of production in the republic, which she called "one of the main strongholds of our state in the North Caucasus."
The recently adopted resolution on «foreign agents» in Georgia may undermine the Euro-Atlantic integration of the country. This was announced by the US State Department.
A bill has been submitted to the Parliament of Georgia, which requires civil society organizations and mass media that receive more than 20% of revenues from foreign sources to register as a «foreign agent». The United States noted that the initiative is based on similar Russian legislation.
We expressed deep concern to our partners in the Georgian government. The proposed law would silence independent voices and citizens who were committed to building a better future for their country. We believe that this could potentially undermine Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration,» the State Department summarized.
