The administration of the US President, Donald Trump, seems to have seriously embarked on curbing the Russian policy of occupation and annexation of the territories of neighboring states. White House intends to allocate considerable funds to fight pro-Russian separatists in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.

This opinion was expressed in an article on the website "Crimea. Realities "Georgian political scientist and publicist Oleg Panfilov, analyzing the latest decisions of Washington.

The expert recalled that on March 3, the US Congress made the Kremlin "a diplomatic warning" - approved a resolution in support of Georgia's territorial integrity. In the resolution, in particular, the Congress once again calls on Russia to withdraw recognition of the "independence" of the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

"Russia did not listen to the call, and two months later the decision was followed - on May 7, President Donald Trump signed a law on the new federal budget for the current fiscal year, a week earlier approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, which first spelled out points for protecting the territorial integrity of Georgia. The new law also obliges the US Treasury to develop the necessary instructions for international financial institutions to exclude the possibility of implementing any programs - loans, debts, guarantees that violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia. At the same time, the law forbids supporting any country in the world that recognizes the independence of the occupied Georgian regions - Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region ("South Ossetia"), "Panfilov writes..

As noted by the Georgian political scientist, this law will strike the Kremlin's allies, who recognized the independence of the separatist regions - Nauru, Venezuela and Nicaragua. In particular, the island nation of Nauru will now be deprived of US financial support. Two other countries, Venezuela and Nicaragua - and so in the outcasts of the United States. Now we can expect that sanctions against them will not be lifted until they give up support for the occupied Georgian territories.

"As for the fourth country that occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Russia, it is already the fourth year under sanctions, but now they can be more stringent than those that were introduced in connection with the occupation of Crimea and the war in the Donbas," he said. He stressed.

According to the expert, the new American law contains many indications of Russia, mainly - the need to confront the aggressive foreign policy of Moscow. Along with other measures, the document specifies that "it is necessary to allocate not less than 100 000 000 dollars in the form of assistance to resist the influence and aggression of Russia in the countries of Europe and Eurasia". These funds "will be added to the amounts that are available for these countries in the framework of bilateral assistance".

"Apparently, Washington seriously took up the curbing of the Russian policy of occupation and annexation of the territories of neighboring states.

The introduction of the new law will not only limit the Kremlin's activity in building the "Russian world", but will also strengthen the defensive capacity of several post-Soviet countries, primarily Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, "Panfilov said..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Russian political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky explained why the failure of the mythology of the "Russian world" and "Novorossia" became the largest foreign policy defeat of Putin's regime.
