On May 24, Grigory Karasin, the Senator of the Russian Federation, stated that the West's pressure on the Georgian authorities regarding the adoption of the law on foreign agents by the country's parliament is “other attack on Russia's positions.” He expressed his agreement with the Georgian Prime Minister’s assertion that the law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence," passed by the Parliament, is a pretext for opening a second front against Russia. "I agree with the Georgian Prime Minister and his statement that the law 'On Transparency of Foreign Influence' adopted by the Parliament is just an excuse to push to open a second front with Russia. This has been manifested since 2022, when the West openly launched a massive attack on Russia to weaken our country as much as possible. The prime minister's statement that this interest has not gone anywhere is quite justified... It is clear that we are talking about another attack on Russia's positions," Karasin stated. He added that the situation with Georgia is a special maneuver by the Western community.

Moreover, Russian President Vladimir Putin, addressing journalists, described as a political blizzard the remarks made by a European commissioner who allegedly threatened Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze with an assassination attempt similar to that against Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. "I can't comment on what some European commissioner said there. There are a lot of commissioners there, they change all the time and talk all kinds of nonsense, you know. But if it's like you said, well, you can't call it anything but political bullshit. It's an outrage, that's all," President Putin remarked.
