Significance

His statement offers only limited reassurance for Georgia's government, already beleaguered on several fronts as opponents attack it for its failure to give Ukraine full backing, its alleged backdoor ties to the Kremlin and its handling of former President Mikheil Saakashvili's imprisonment.

Impacts

  • Russia would delight in and seek leverage from worse Georgia-Ukraine ties.
  • Questions about Georgia's reformist credentials will grow.
