do you think that russia wants control of georgia? russia wants control of not only georgia, but probably parts of europe. it has its. ..old ambitions and old aspirations of remaining as an imperialist state. but should we be thinking about what russia wants or what we want? well, the last time that you came on hardtalk, which was at a time when russia was on the back foot in ukraine, it was the end of 2022. you said you didn t think russia would invade georgia. the situation in ukraine looks very different now. and i wonder if you fear for georgia, particularly if president putin is successful in ukraine? well, i think that we should, again, all fear if president putin is successful in ukraine. but i don t think that he is successful in ukraine. he has been losing in ukraine all his first ambitions, strategic ambitions taking kyiv, dividing the government and the population, dividing ukraine from europe, dividing european between themselves, european with their populations
