It turns out that we live in a bad place, do you only now understand the geopolitical situation in Georgia?! - Kaladze on the status of the EU

"Georgia deserved candidate status because it was the most successful among the three countries in all aspects, with all kinds of reforms. We are told that it is a political decision, and that they give it to Ukraine because Ukraine was involved in the war. We know we are not given it because Georgia was not involved in sanctions and war, so the decision was made. Then we are told that they are not satisfied with the geographical location of Georgia, it turns out that we live in a bad place. We fought for 30 years to become a full member of the European Union and make some reforms. Only now you understand where Georgia is and where its geopolitical position is?"
