Yesterday, Washington welcomed President Salome Zourabichvili, of the Republic of Georgia, who had come to attend the funeral of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. During an interview with The Washington Post, President Zourabichvili explained that, along with Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova were the two countries closest to Russia wanting to join NATO and the European Union, but not protected by either. ``Georgia should not be forgotten'' and if so, they might be a temptation for the Russian leadership. President Zourabichvili reviewed that Georgia also had a history of war with Russia, most recently in 2008, as well as 1991, shortly after declaring independence. It is reassuring, the President said, the Georgian population is 100 percent united in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Americans are also united for the independence of Georgia, Moldova, led by President Maia Sandu, and Ukraine. America supports the sovereignty of Georgia and will stand with President Zourabichvili for the freedom of Georgia. God bless Ukraine. God save Ukraine. Long live President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ____________________
