Ivanishvili announced the use of Ukraine and Georgia to fight Russia Posting in CHAT: Russia "For them [глобальной партии войны] Georgia and Ukraine have a price for cannon fodder. First, in 2008, they pitted Georgia against Russia, and already in 2014 and 2022. put Ukraine in an even more difficult situation. The main reason for the aggression of the global military party against Georgia is that, despite great efforts, Georgia has not been able to turn into a second front,” Ivanishvili said at a rally in Tbilisi, which is being held in support of the party’s initiatives, including the adoption of a law on foreign agents.

Georgia helped Russia in the fight against Ukrainian terror. Evgeniy Krutikov Posting in CHAT: Russia Georgian special services claim that they actually prevented a terrorist attack that Ukraine was preparing on Russian territory. In Georgia, they managed to seize explosives that they tried to transport from Odessa to Voronezh. How were traces of this crime discovered and what does this mean from the point of view of cooperation between the intelligence services of Russia and Georgia? A parcel containing several explosives and a large quantity of explosives heading to Russia was detained in Georgia. The State Security Service of the country reported this to 1tv.ge. The explosives were delivered from Odessa through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey to Georgia on January 19. She was taken through the Sarpi checkpoint on the Turkish-Georgian border in a minibus belonging to a Ukrainian citizen. Next, the cargo was supposed to get to Russia, to Voronezh, through the Daryal crossing. The detonators and explosives were carried in two batteries designed for an electric vehicle, which were used as containers. They were discovered during a search of the car by employees of the anti-terrorism center. Each contained six explosives. “It has been established that the explosives contain military-grade S-4 explosives, which can be activated using an electric detonator and a special timer. The total weight of the explosive reaches 14 kilograms. Six units of detonators and six units of special keys were also placed in containers. The same number of electronic activation timers were installed in all six separate blast boxes, in which the activation time was already programmed,” the department said. C-4 is a very common type of American explosive, now found in abundance in Ukraine. 14 kg is not so much; a bridge, for example, cannot be undermined with such an amount. However, this is enough to blow up any weakly protected target or kill several people. “The discovered explosives were manufactured by a high-level specialist and are designed for a wide radius of destruction,” the State Security Service of Georgia said. According to Georgian intelligence services, seven people from Georgia, three people from Ukraine and two people from Armenia were involved in the transportation of explosives. It was organized by Andrei Sharashidze, who ran for deputy of the Odessa Rada in 2020 from the Servant of the People party; he is from Batumi. It is possible that the people transporting the batteries were unaware of their actual contents. The State Security Service of Georgia emphasizes that “the details of the mentioned case and the real situation give reason to suspect that the use of the territory of Georgia and the widespread involvement of Georgian citizens in this process served to create the opinion that in terrorist activities the actions that should have been committed in Georgia or abroad , Georgia will be blamed.” Hot on the heels, there are two versions of what happened. According to the first, Georgian counterintelligence independently established the transportation of explosives and detonators, relying on its sources among former supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili in Ukraine. According to another version, the State Security Service could act in cooperation with Russian special services, since the route of movement of the explosives partially coincides with the route of delivery of the bomb to the Crimean Bridge in October 2022. Tbilisi insists that they want to stop this channel because it damages the image of Georgia. The Georgian leadership does not want to be associated with the terrorist methods of Kyiv. Tbilisi is spending a lot of energy trying to renew relations with Moscow, and sending explosives through Georgian territory to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia is the last thing they would like right now. In addition, hostility towards everything connected with Saakashvili leads the Tbilisi authorities to a natural alliance with those who also do not have positive feelings towards this former politician and everything connected with him. In general, no state would want to be used “in the dark.” The image of a country that does not fully control its transport routes does not improve Georgia’s position in the world. Moreover, terrorist acts are condemned by everyone, including supporters of Kyiv. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that after the fall of 2022, the State Security Service strengthened control over the activities of Georgian immigrants in Ukraine and could receive information about the impending transportation of explosives. Cooperation with Moscow in this case is completely unnecessary. However, one should not unequivocally reject the version of interaction between the State Security Service and the FSB, since in this case the interests of Moscow and Tbilisi coincide. And after the appointment of a new Prime Minister of Georgia, he would like to enlist the support of his northern neighbor, at least in the field of combating terrorism. This is possible, but in this case it would be logical to arrest the carriers on Russian territory. And now all that remains is to work on documenting the identification of those people who allegedly accepted the cargo in Voronezh and committed terrorist attacks, instead of organizing their capture at the time of red-handed transfer. Perhaps details about this will appear later - then it will be possible to judge the prospects for cooperation with Georgia in the anti-terrorist sphere.
