Georgia’s foreign economic relations in the context of geopolitical turbulence

Since 2008, there have been no diplomatic relations between Russia and Georgia, and Tbilisi has been one of the most active supporters of the European integration course in the post-Soviet space for many years, along with Ukraine and Moldova. At the same time, contrary to expectations, after the start of the special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine, Georgia did not follow the path of militarization and further deepening of relations with the West, did not sever ties with Russia, as Chisinau did, but began to pursue a constructive and pragmatic foreign policy line. This, in turn, deteriorated the relations between Brussels and Tbilisi, despite the important role of the EU as a trade and economic partner of the Georgian Republic. In this article, the author shows how Georgia’s foreign trade relations have changed in the context of the current geopolitical turbulence.
