The Georgian government has prevented the opening of a second military front in Georgia against Russia despite its opponents' efforts, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Sunday.

Kobakhidze said: "The government of Georgia has done everything to maintain peace in our country and the security of it. We have succeeded in this struggle, despite the huge efforts that were made to open a second front in Georgia," the prime minister told reporters.

He further explained, "There were direct demands, appeals, direct coordination with the radical opposition; however, the scenario of 1921 was not replicated in Georgia, and this is the merit of the Georgian government."

Kobakhidze has repeatedly asserted that if the United National Movement (UNM), led by former President Mikheil Saakashvili, were in power, Georgia would already be engaged in a military conflict. According to him, the UNM is pushing for the country to become a second front against Russia. The ruling Georgian Dream party has repeatedly said that Western politicians are the ones advocating for opening a second front in Georgia.
 
In early February, Georgian Dream dismissed the European Parliament as unreliable after it passed a resolution advocating for sanctions against Tbilisi.

Georgian PM slams Macron's accusations

On January 7, Kobakhidze dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's claims that Russia meddled in Georgia's last elections, disregarding the claim as lies after Macron accused Russia of increasing its aggression and shifting its hostility "toward Europe and other regions," by "destabilizing electoral processes and manipulating ballot boxes" in Georgia's October elections.

Kobakhidze responded to reporters asking him about Macron's allegations, saying he would not "comment on lies."

"I am commenting on the problem that everyone faces today, which is a devastated Ukraine.”

He added, "The French president should better follow the events in Ukraine, which has been sacrificed with the aim of destroying it."

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova rejected allegations Russia interfered in Georgia's internal affairs made by the Georgian opposition in November, adding that "such actions are characteristic of the West".

Kobakhidze's party, the Georgian Dream party, won the last elections on October 26 with 53.93% of votes and winning 89 out of 150 seats in the assembly, with Mikhail Kavelashvili taking office in an inauguration ceremony accompanied by protests outside of the parliament.

Days after Kavelashvili took office, European Foreign Ministers revealed that they were considering imposing sanctions and restrictions on Georgia.
