[HIGHLIGHTS] "A question of political will": Tbilisi announced the harm of possible sanctions against the Russian Federation for the Georgian economy

Georgia does not intend to impose anti-Russian sanctions, said Irakli Kobakhidze, chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream party. He cited an expert assessment, according to which such a step could lead to a fall in the country's economy by 10-18%.

Earlier, the speaker of the Georgian parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, noted that Tbilisi would not impose restrictions in order to avoid escalation in relations with Moscow. The government of the republic also positively perceived the abolition of visas for short-term trips of Georgian citizens to Russia.
