Today, bipartisan members of the Helsinki Commission expressed their concern about reports that Georgian Dream is surrendering control of the Anaklia deep-sea port to a CCP-backed, US-sanctioned conglomerate. 🧵1/2
Harvard's Institute of Politics must remain nonpartisan, no matter what. The recent election result only underscores this necessity. My and Rob Fogel's opinion piece in @thecrimson: https://t.co/7KQRBFM2EU
Today marks 16 years since Russia’s invasion of Georgia. We remember those killed and displaced and call on Russia to withdraw its forces to pre-conflict positions. The U.S. is committed to supporting Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Today, the European Union is formally starting membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova.
But another country is missing from accession talks: Georgia.
Senior Fellow @LukeDCoffey explains why in @politico: https://t.co/kp1yRQtiZ0
"Congress must act quickly, lest Georgia’s budding rapprochement with Russia morph into a full-blown realignment that robs its people of the future they desire"

We are deeply alarmed about democratic backsliding in Georgia. Georgian Parliamentarians face a critical choice - whether to support the Georgian people’s EuroAtlantic aspirations or pass a Kremlin-style foreign agents' law that runs counter to democratic values.
Georgians are fighting to protect their culture and geopolitical independence from Russian imperialism. Yet, Harvard has chosen Tbilisi, Georgia for its Russian-language summer program. I write today in @thecrimson that they need to find somewhere else. https://t.co/e7ju5SpXvZ

Was an honor to introduce @ChrisMurphyCT tonight at the @JFKJrForum, and a fun full-circle moment for me after doing some sanctions policy research for his office last year https://t.co/clQGm79mDN
I wrote in the @HarvardIR on US fgn policy vis-a-vis the planned Russian naval base in Abkhazia. While @DCRES_Harvard does a great job highlighting the region, I almost never hear it spoken about among peers; maybe this will help change that https://t.co/jdADhaNbmn
It was a great honor this week to deliver a spoken introduction for @davidaxelrod at the @HarvardIOP — and no less to hear his wisdom vis-a-vis the 2024 election!
From @crimsonopinion:
It is possible that we are all prisoners to collective responsibility; it is possible that our institutional definitions lie beyond revision. But no matter how futile, it merits attempting to define ourselves.

Today marks fifteen years since Russia invaded Georgia and occupied 20% of its land. Russia still refuses to abide by its 2008 ceasefire commitments. The United States strongly supports Georgia's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
In Tbilisi learning from ambassadors @a_kalindra@RiinaKaljurand and Georgian security officials abt opportunities + challenges regarding eventual NATO integration
