The introduction of sanctions by the Georgian government against Russia at the request of the European Union (EU) would be disastrous for the republic. This statement was made by the mayor of Tbilisi and the secretary general of the Georgian ruling party - Democratic Party of Georgia Rek Kaldze in an interview with the Imedi TV company, the video is available on YouTube. "They tell us: 'We are friends of your country and we wish you success. We want to be a successful country.' At the same time, they are asking for things that, if you think you know from the beginning, will be a disaster for your country, will destroy your economy," said the politician. Kaldze chided the European Union for its ambivalent attitude towards Georgia and pointed to European Parliament resolutions related to the country's reluctance to join anti-Russian sanctions. The politician also wondered why Western countries are asking Tbilisi to take a self-destructive step if they declare a friendly attitude towards Georgia.
