Georgia’s ruling party, Georgian Dream, hails the Alaska summit between U.S. President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as confirmation of their long-standing warnings about the risks the country narrowly avoided.
The recent meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, under the slogan 'Striving for Peace,' is being framed by Georgia’s ruling party, Georgian Dream, as confirmation of their long-standing warnings about external pressure, domestic opposition involvement, and the risks the country narrowly avoided.
Both leaders acknowledged that the war in Ukraine could have been prevented, with President Putin agreeing to Donald Trump’s view that conflict might never have started had he been in office. For Georgian Dream, this admission is proof that the war is not only about Ukraine, but a much broader confrontation between Russia and the West.
Papuashvili: Georgia Escaped Becoming a Battlefield
Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili hailed the Alaska summit as a turning point, arguing that it formally validates what Georgian Dream has been saying since 2022. According to him, Georgia was being positioned as a 'second proxy state,' but the country managed to avoid devastation.
He linked the 2021 return of former President Mikheil Saakashvili to these efforts, calling it a deliberate attempt by foreign intelligence and radical opposition forces to destabilize Georgia and open the way for conflict.
"If our government had not been firm, Georgia could have shared Ukraine’s fate," Papuashvili declared.
Mdinaradze: All Questions Answered
Mamuka Mdinaradze, Executive Secretary of Georgian Dream, reinforced this line, saying the Alaska meeting provided final confirmation that the Ukraine war is a proxy conflict and that Georgia was included in the broader plan.
"Yes, Georgia was meant to be part of it. And yes, it was only thanks to our government’s steadfast position that the country was saved from destruction," Mdinaradze stated in a Facebook post.
According to him, this proves that opposition parties, certain NGOs, and media outlets that dismissed the "war or peace" dilemma were in fact aligning with external forces to push Georgia into conflict. He insists they must be held accountable before the Georgian people.
Government’s Narrative of Restraint
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Georgian Dream has repeatedly presented itself as the guarantor of peace and stability, claiming it resisted international pressure and domestic unrest that could have dragged Georgia into a military confrontation. Officials highlight that while critics accused them of appeasement or passivity, their policy of restraint ultimately safeguarded the country’s sovereignty and citizens.
For Georgian Dream, the Alaska summit is not just a diplomatic milestone but also a vindication of their political strategy. The ruling party portrays it as final proof that their decision to keep Georgia out of war was both necessary and life-saving.
