Top Questions of the week from Dan and Maria What is happening in Ukraine–Georgia relations? We’ve seen some signs of warming, yet Georgia has not joined the tribunal against Russia, while Georgian Dream continues throwing mud at Zelensky. Any idea what’s going on? Imedi TV was barred from the European Parliament for a year, and Rustavi 2 and Pos TV were not allowed in Moldova. Do you think this could be a prelude to European sanctions, after the UK already sanctioned them? Please send your questions for the next show to talkgeorgia1@gmail.com
