Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has announced that his government supports the United States' peace plan for ending the Russia-Ukraine war, expressing hope for its success. Speaking on February 25, Kobakhidze emphasized that the US-backed UN resolution was "prepared without interference from the Deep State" and reiterated Georgia’s broader support for Ukraine.
However, Georgia did not participate in a separate UN General Assembly vote on February 23, which called for the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine. The resolution, supported by 93 countries, was co-authored by Georgia in an earlier draft but did not receive its final vote.
Kobakhidze defended Georgia’s record, stating that the country had joined over 600 international documents condemning Russia’s aggression and supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The decision not to vote has drawn criticism from some domestic and international voices, who argue it signals a shift in Georgia’s foreign policy. However, the government maintains that its approach prioritizes peace and stability while avoiding direct confrontation.
Tensions between Tbilisi and Kyiv remain high, with Ukraine’s recently appointed Chargé d’Affaires in Georgia urging partners to back the resolution. Meanwhile, relations between Georgia and Western allies, including the EU and US, have been strained over past geopolitical disagreements.
Relations with the European Union and the United States have been increasingly strained, with concerns over Georgia’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration surfacing in diplomatic discourse.
