Georgia does not join our sanctions, does not implement our sanctions, but Georgia does not allow its territory to be used for circumvention of sanctions, David O'Sullivan, EU Sanctions Envoy, stated at a briefing.

"I would be happy to say that there is not a single case of circumvention of sanctions anywhere. What I can say is that the measures that have been taken here [in Georgia] are a very strong guarantee that there will be no circumvention [of sanctions]…

For the reasons I have already mentioned, Georgia does not join our sanctions, does not implement our sanctions. However, what we have seen in the last two days is that Georgia is very serious about its commitment not to allow its territory to be used as a cover for sanctions, whether it is trade in goods, specifically 38 military goods or financial services," O'Sullivan said.
