MOSCOW, October 6 - RIA Novosti. The European Union is inciting Georgia to a disastrous confrontation with Russia, reproaching Georgia for not joining anti-Russian sanctions, Mikhail Kalugin, director of the Fourth Department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told RIA Novosti.

“The EU members are inciting Georgia to a disastrous confrontation with Russia. In addition, they regularly reproach Tbilisi for not joining anti-Russian sanctions,” he said.

According to a senior diplomat, “today this is a priority requirement for all candidates for the EU.” The Georgian authorities honestly say in response that any restrictions will not have an impact on Russia, but will have extremely dire consequences for Georgia itself. As a result, Brussels has moved to sanctions against Georgian business,” Kalugin emphasized.
