This only means one thing: how hypocritical the British government is, which directly demanded that Georgia not import oil products from Russia, - this is how the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, assessed the information spread about the fact that the British government has eased sanctions against Russia.

According to Papuashvili, if the Georgian government had believed even the incumbent British ambassador, the Georgian economy would have been destroyed today.

"The British ambassador personally visited various offices, including the parliament, requesting meetings with various members of parliament, sometimes over tea, sometimes in the office, and talking in a threatening tone about the fact that Russian oil products should not be imported into Georgia. When they asked him how Georgia should do this, which means imposing sanctions on Russia, he said that sanctions were not necessary, it was necessary to put pressure on businesses so that they would not import. The current British ambassador has such ideas that the Georgian government should ensure that businesses do not import and trade as they want, by putting pressure on them or imposing sanctions. When they told him that finding other markets would increase the price of gasoline and ultimately, life would become more expensive, his response to this was that life would also become more expensive for their citizens as well, they pay more and Georgians should pay more too. This is a quote from the British ambassador, and today we learn that Britain itself has lifted sanctions on Russia, and what they said about trade with Russia allowing it to produce tanks and then shoot at Ukrainians, now Russia should be given money for the tanks, if we judge by their own logic. The moral of this story is that the British ambassador is not very bothered by the Georgian population. It is important for him to fulfill his tasks, and what happens to Georgian citizens, to put it correctly, is of less concern to the British ambassador. The second moral is that if we had listened to the British ambassador, as a result of the escalation today, economic ties with Russia would probably have been severed, we would have fallen into economic collapse, now we would not have the economic growth rates of up to 10%, but we would have a ruined economy. Unfortunately, this is how immoral international politics is, and we must realize this and make those who wave the British flag in front of the parliament understand this. If we do not take care of ourselves, neither the British ambassador nor the representative of Britain or any other country will take care of our concerns," Papuashvili said.

For information, according to the British publication Sky News, the British government has eased sanctions against Russia and allowed the import of diesel and jet fuel made from Russian crude oil into the UK, if it is processed in other countries.

According to available information, the decision was made amid fears of a shortage of jet fuel in the summer, as the conflict in the Middle East continues to limit global oil supplies.
