The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, said that Russia should end the nearly 15-year occupation of her country's territory as part of a possible peace agreement to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

The Georgian leader said this in an interview with Bloomberg. 

"Russia should learn where its borders are

," Zurabishvili stressed.

"

, because no one should think that this war can be resolved without Russia's retreat from all the occupied territories in the region," the Georgian president said.

The newspaper notes that Zurabishvili's call to restore regional order depends on the decisive defeat of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the war against Ukraine.

According to the President of Georgia, this moment is fast approaching. 

"

," Zurabishvili said.

"By not demanding from Russia a complete withdrawal (from the occupied territories - ed.) within the terms of surrender, the Western world will make another big mistake - as big as in 2008 and 2014," the president of Georgia said, referring to Russia's war against its country in 2008 and Moscow's annexation of Ukrainian Crimea in 2014.

We will remind that in the 90s, Russia deployed its troops in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, occupying approximately one-fifth of the territory of Georgia.

It should be noted that in December, Prime Minister of Georgia Iraklii Garibashvili announced that his country would not provide military aid to Ukraine, but would provide humanitarian aid.

Subsequently, the Minister of Culture and former Deputy Prime Minister of Georgia, Thea Tsulukiani, stated that the government refuses to transfer weapons to Ukraine in order not to drag the country into another war. 

At the same time, the Georgian government categorically refused to hand over to Ukraine the Buk self-propelled anti-aircraft missile systems, which were provided by the state during the Russian attack in 2008.
