Pro-Kremlin prime minister on April 17 said that the “Russian” draft law on “foreign agents” in the country was supposed to protect the country from “Ukrainization,” noting that “Ukrainization” could thwart country's membership in the EU.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry then stated that the real threat to Georgia is Russification, not “mystical Ukrainization.” They noted that using Ukraine in such a derogatory context “causes additional damage to Ukrainian-Georgian relations.”
