Senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and former US Ambassador to Ukraine, John Herbst, on Sunday said, “Moscow’s aggression against Georgia, against Moldova, and now against Ukraine is part of a well-understood pattern that eventually challenges America directly and NATO countries.”

During his visit to ABL near village Odzisi, John Herbst said, “the US has a great, great interest in turning things around here and turning things around in Ukraine and my sense is that Putin is going to lose his war in Ukraine; Ukraine also finds territory currently in Moscow’s control returning to the proper control of Kyiv and after that, the same will happen here.”

Georgia’s capital Tbilisi will host a two-day international conference ‘Glory to Ukraine’ on 5-6 September, gathering former US diplomats, regional experts, civil activists, and business representatives.

The conference, led by the George W. Bush Institute, the McCain Institute for International Leadership, and the Centre for Economic Policy Research, will focus on a new political and security reality created as a result of the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical consequences of military aggression.

The day before the conference, the conference members visited the occupation line on Tbilisi-administered territory in Odzisi village.
