Kobakhidze Criticizes Opposition and Foreign Officials for Undermining Peace Efforts Amid Ukraine War

On March 1, Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia, criticized those who, in his words, "condemn one peace effort after another while being responsible for allowing a bloody war and cold-bloodedly sacrificing Ukraine and the lives of thousands of Ukrainians."
Kobakhidze framed reactions to the February 28 dispute at the White House Oval Office—between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance—as a confrontation between the "deep state" and "peace-loving forces."
He also accused domestic opposition groups of aligning with what he called the "Global War Party," claiming they "immediately mobilized well-known speakers" against Trump, including U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and officials from Brussels.
Kobakhidze reiterated Georgian Dream’s long-standing conspiracy rhetoric, stating that the "Global War Party" and "deep state" would "not give up the war so easily" and that the struggle between these forces and those seeking peace was entering a "decisive phase." He wished Trump perseverance and courage in what he described as a "difficult struggle," adding that the sooner the war in Ukraine ends, "the sooner peace will settle across the entire region."
