What is important to underline from the statements by Zurabishvili, Sandu, Zelensky and Michel is the following: 1) Zurabishvili said that there is no alternative to European integration and that this goal is what unites Georgian politicians, regardless of polarization. ⤵️
2) Sandu recalled the disappointment suffered by the EU after the unfolding of the political crises caused by bank frauds. She stressed that Moldova was captured by an oligarchic regime, something that the Georgian opposition recalled about Ivanishvili. ⤵️
3) Zelensky insisted on the need to ensure greater assistance from the EU, while specifying that the distracting factor for Ukraine is Russia's hybrid war and occupation. He also emphasized that the Associated Trio is a new "regional dimension" on the EU enlargement radar. ⤵️
4) Michel pointed out the solidarity of the EU with the three countries and recalled that there are challenges facing the reforms. He said the EU has to accelerate the reforms "not to please" the EU, but to benefit the citizens of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. END
