The US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan, on Thursday, said the Sanctions Coordinator James O’Brien “made very clear that we really value the cooperation and the partnership with the agencies here in Georgia, many of whom we worked with for many years: customs and the revenue service, the border police, many others, who are doing their best to control, to monitor what goes in and out of Georgia.”
“There is pressure from Russia to get these parts and one way is through a neighbouring country like Georgia. So, the message is: Thank you for that partnership and cooperation, trying to stop the flow of these component parts that are deadly on the battlefield and please, continue with the vigilance as we see Russia try to find new ways to evade sanctions and export controls,” Kelly Degnan stated.
EU Sanctions Envoy David O’Sullivan, Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the US State Department, Ambassador James O’Brien, and Director General, Economics, Science and Technology at the UK Foreign Office, Kumar Iyer, visited Georgia this week.
