You can see that sanctions are absolutely counterproductive. Consequently, I am convinced that all entities who might theoretically consider sanctions will act pragmatically and refrain from taking measures that could backfire on the relevant forces. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“Sanctions are counterproductive. They sanctioned two high-ranking police officials, both of whom fought in the 2008 war. People making such decisions should not make such mistakes.

Everyone has seen that sanctions are counterproductive, and therefore, I believe that more pragmatic decisions will be made in the future”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
