On November 28, Russia's State Duma Committee on International Affairs commented on the position of the ruling Georgian Dream, which refuses to impose sanctions against Russia.

"Applause. Whatever the difficulties in relations between Moscow and Tbilisi, the current Georgian authorities have found the courage not to succumb to anti-Russian hysteria and to be guided primarily by a position focused on national interests and the well-being of their own citizens. With such priorities, Georgia's economy is developing rapidly, showing two consecutive years of double-digit growth. By the way, Russian tourists bring good income to the country," the committee said.

Meanwhile, the commentary noted that the EU is preparing the 12th package of anti-Russian sanctions. "Thanks to such 'far-sighted' European officials, Europe is increasingly turning into ward number 6 with clinical signs of degradation," the State Duma said. 

"And it seems to be highly contagious. Metastases of political dementia have reached Kyiv, where, having completely lost their sense of reality, they are seriously discussing the issue of changing the names of cities in Crimea, a territory foreign to Ukraine. Is this madness or dementia? Signs of both are evident," the commentary added.
