US Act to Counter Russian Influence in Georgia: Sanctions for Undermining Democracy.

This Act aims to counter the influence of Russia, China, and Iran in Georgia by supporting its constitutional goal of joining the EU and NATO. It mandates sanctions, including visa bans and asset blocking, against Georgian officials and their families involved in corruption or actively undermining democratic standards and Euro-Atlantic integration. Enhanced US military and financial assistance will only resume once Georgia demonstrates significant and sustained democratic progress.
Key points
Sanctions: Georgian officials and their immediate family members involved in corruption or blocking EU/NATO integration face US visa ineligibility and asset freezing.
Suspension of Partnership: The US-Georgia Strategic Partnership Commission will be suspended until the Georgian government upholds democratic wishes and Euro-Atlantic goals.
Military Aid Condition: Increased military cooperation and defense equipment supply are conditional upon Georgia certifying sustained progress toward democracy and Euro-Atlantic alignment.
