"The 'dreamers' directed Putin's troops"
The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement, which could be interpreted as a response to Russia's perceived pro-Putin leanings. The statement calls on Russia to withdraw its troops from Georgian territory and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia.
The statement comes at a time when the actions of Georgian Dream have caused a reaction among the "Kremlin crowd" in Russia. Russian citizens perceive the Georgian ruling party, Georgian Dream, as pro-Putin. However, the Georgian Dream party has distanced itself from any relationship with Russia, and the statement does not call on Russia to revoke its decision recognizing the so-called independence of the occupied territories.
The Georgian Dream party's stance towards Russia has been ambiguous, with unofficial backchannels likely existing between the two nations. Georgian Dream uses rhetoric hinting at conspiracy theories about Western influence and appears to prioritize relations with Russia and China over stronger ties with the West.
Regarding the territorial disputes in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Russia maintains a strong military presence in these regions following its 2008 war with Georgia, has formally recognized their independence, and controls about 20% of Georgian territory. Georgian Dream has been accused by the opposition and civil society of allowing the de facto loss of these regions to become permanent.
The statement urges Russia not to hinder the return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their homes. However, it does not ask Russia not to hinder the return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their homes.
The statement also requests Russia to fulfill its obligations under the August 12, 2008 ceasefire agreement. This could potentially strain relations with Russia, as the Georgian Dream party's statement could be seen as a shift in Georgia's foreign policy.
The Georgian Dream party has told Russians who perceive them as their own to leave. This action has caused a stir among the "Kremlin crowd" in Russia, with some showing signs of discomfort, blushing, widening their eyes, and shedding tears, according to the Telegram channel "SерpomПо".
