Nikoloz Samkharadze, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Parliament, says that Georgia cannot close the border with Russia, because this step will help Putin to send more people to fight in Ukraine:
"Here we have a kind of moral dilemma - because, these people are running away, they are running away from Russia so that they are not mobilized and do not go to war in Ukraine. Therefore, if we close the border now, with this decision, we will certainly help Putin to collect These people should be sent to war in Ukraine. Therefore, this decision is very difficult for us to accept, because we do not want to help Putin," said Samkharadze.
