In a remote speech at the summit of the participating states of the Joint Expeditionary Force taking place in Sweden on October 13, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, "Thanks to our defense against Russia's aggression, new prospects will open up for Georgia to restore its territorial integrity."

"New security perspectives will also emerge due to changes in the South Caucasus region neighboring the Black Sea. This will give potential to our common security here in our part of Europe. Especially when, thanks to our defense against Russian aggression, new prospects will open up for Georgia to restore its territorial integrity," Zelensky said.

"There are only two options: either terrorist Russia will succeed in breaking freedom, and then the zone of geopolitical instability that exists in the east of Europe will spread across our continent, or thanks to many levels and formats of cooperation, in particular regional ones, thanks to our joint defense of freedom, Russia will lose in this confrontation. And when it loses, the result will be the realization of a historic chance for geopolitical stability along the entire line from Scandinavia through Minsk and Kyiv to the South Caucasus," Zelensky said.
