Irakli Kobakhidze: War threat remains alive. Global War Party is doing everything possible to pin Ukrainian conflict on Europe from start to finish
“As for the threat of war, no deep analysis is necessary to see that this threat remains very much alive. The Global War Party is doing everything possible to pin the Ukrainian conflict on Europe from start to finish, thus attempting to kill two birds with one stone: destroying both Europe and Russia simultaneously,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated on Friday.
The PM went on to say that “In this plan, the need to open a second front in Georgia remains as urgent as it was at the outset of the war.”
“Perhaps even more so now, this issue has become a matter of principle for the Global War Party. Today, the rhetoric of war from leaders of EU member states is so intense that not only does the military confrontation seem nowhere near resolution, but all efforts are directed toward prolonging it. The continued arming of Ukraine, the supply of long-range weapons, the tightening of sanctions against Russia, and the statements by retired generals about preparing for war with Russia shortly—all clearly demonstrate the Global War Party‘s plan to escalate and intensify the Russo-Ukrainian conflict at Europe’s expense. As we have noted, this strategy aims to weaken both the European Union and Russia—and, indeed, it will. It is also worth highlighting the recent decision by EU member states to allocate 5% of their GDP to military spending, a figure that exceeds 15% of their national budgets.
This step, driven by the Global War Party, transforms European countries into militarised nations. On one hand, this escalation heightens the risk of military conflict across the continent. On the other hand, increasing military spending will only deepen the economic hardships and social unrest within the European Union. In these challenging circumstances, we must proceed with extreme caution, ensuring that society does not succumb to the blackmail and provocations of the European bureaucracy, nor make a move that could lead to the unconditional destruction of our country,” the PM stated.
