**EU Ambassador Warns of Russian Aggression: A Threat to Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity**
The conflict in Ukraine has been a major concern for the international community, with many countries condemning Russia’s actions as brutal, unprovoked, and unjustified. But what about other neighboring countries that have also fallen victim to Russian aggression? Georgia is one such country, where Russia still occupies 20% of its territory.
This was the focus of an event organized by the Polish Embassy in Tbilisi, titled “The Russian Threat and Its Perception: Based on Polish, Ukrainian, and Georgian Experiences.” Speaking at the event, EU Ambassador to Georgia Paweł Herczyński emphasized that Russia cannot be trusted. He noted that European countries have been targets of Russian aggression and that they must work together to preserve the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of all nations.
**Russia’s Imperialist Agenda**
Ambassador Herczyński highlighted that Russia pursues an imperialist agenda directed against its neighbors, with its actions causing harm and instability in the region. He pointed out that Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is just one example of this, and that other countries, including Georgia, have also been targeted.
“We cannot trust Russia,” Ambassador Herczyński emphasized. “We must work together to be strong and ensure the preservation of sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of all our countries.” His words are a stark reminder that the conflict in Ukraine is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a larger pattern of Russian aggression.
**A Call for Unity**
The ambassador’s message is clear: European countries must stand together to counter Russia’s threats. By working together, they can ensure the preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity, not just for themselves, but also for their neighbors who have been targeted by Russian aggression.
As the international community continues to grapple with the consequences of Russian actions in Ukraine, Ambassador Herczyński’s words serve as a timely reminder that this is not just a crisis for one country, but for all those who value sovereignty and territorial integrity.
