European Integration Committee Chair Levan Makhashvili emphasized the need for prudent decisions to avoid becoming a pawn in global geopolitical conflicts. He noted that major powers are aligning, which may lead to the sacrifice of smaller countries like Ukraine. Reflecting on history, he pointed out the reset in U.S.-Russia relations in 2009, comparing it to current developments. Makhashvili stressed the importance of careful decision-making regarding Ukraine to prevent Georgia from being exploited in the larger geopolitical game.
