In the past Grigol Katamadze, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to Ukraine, foretold the Russian oppression of the Baltic States, Poland, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Following Ukraine, the diplomat is sure, Moscow will take up other neighbors. At the same time, he does not have any doubts about the Kremlin intervention in the Donbass situation. Also, to the "victims of Putin," the diplomat has included his native Georgia, although, Katamadze believes, relations between Tbilisi and Moscow deteriorated much earlier than the five-day armed conflict in South Ossetia. "The war of Russia against Georgia did not begin in 2008, but in 1991 and all 27 years after the restoration of state independence, Georgia lives in the conditions of the conflict," the ex-ambassador said, TV channel Novosti 24 reports.. Georgian prophecy once came true, Katamadze noted. After all, then, 10 years ago, his compatriots predicted clashes in Ukraine. "And again we were not heard," - he complained, adding that this time wise Europe responded to warnings and took appropriate measures against Russia. "The last few years since the beginning of the tragic events in eastern Ukraine, we say that the following - the Baltic countries and Poland. And since aggression has come close to the borders of the European Union, Europeans have pondered over these threats more, imposed sanctions against Russia. This is correct, but sanctions should be even tougher.

Because with the current sanctions, the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation can not be stopped. And then there will be the following goals, "the Georgian diplomat called. According to him, Yanukovych's "ruined" by the Kremlin. Next - the above countries. "It would be a mistake for the Belarusians and Kazakhs to think that something like this can not happen to their countries, and that by some actions they can postpone this process. Now everyone should be united as never before to stop the aggressive actions of Russia. Otherwise, a wide variety of scenarios will start to develop, "the ex-ambassador summed up.. Meanwhile, in August 2008 it was the Georgian side that invaded South Ossetia, provoking the war.
