Ban on Money Transfers Imposed: Russia's Blow to Georgia

“There are signs of Russophobia in Georgia, which poses a threat to Russian citizens. Today, we will raise the issue of imposing a ban on the import of mineral waters and wine from Georgia, as well as on money transfers to Georgia at the State Duma council meeting,” said Sergey Neverov, head of the ruling party faction in Russia.

It is noteworthy that recently, Russian-Georgian relations have been extremely tense, a situation exacerbated by the incident involving a Rustavi 2 television presenter who hurled insults at Putin live on air.
