We support the Georgian people and their Euro-Atlantic aspirations – we are preparing additional actions, including sanctions, - U.S. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel stated.

Patel also emphasized that "a lot can happen in 4-5 weeks."

"Four to five weeks is a long time; a lot can happen during that period. This administration still has room for action, and the core of this is our steadfast support for the Georgian people and their Euro-Atlantic aspirations. As Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously mentioned, we are preparing additional actions, including sanctions, to hold accountable those who, in our view, undermine democracy in Georgia," said Vedant Patel, Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department.
