The Russian Foreign Ministry says that Ukraine's call to Georgia to open a "second front" is a provocation

Moscow considers Kyiv's call to Georgia to liberate Abkhazia and so-called South Ossetia as a provocation, representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, stated.

"As a provocation," Zakharova said to the question asked at the briefing, "how the Russian side evaluates the calls of the Ukrainian deputies in Georgia regarding the so-called second front".

As Ria Novosti writes, the chairman of Georgian Dream, Irakli Kobakhidze, said that his statement about opening a second front against Russia and regarding a possible referendum is sarcasm because the country's population is unequivocally against war. At the same time, he also claimed that Kyiv directly demands the opening of such a front from the Georgian authorities.
