Concerned about the reality in Ukraine, the West launched many strategies to weaken Russia's position.
The West must destabilize and create conflicts around Russia – such as in Georgia – to salvage the reality in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson expressed this view in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.
"This (destabilizing the situation in Georgia) is another attempt by the West to weaken Russia. They are losing in Ukraine and they have to think of somewhere else where they can win and divert Russian resources," said Larry Johnson.

“They (Western countries) think that just creating two or three crises in different places will be enough to force Russia to divert its military resources, which will contribute to slowing the pace of Russia’s offensive towards Ukraine and help the Ukrainians recover. That is what we are seeing happening in Syria and Georgia,” Johnson explained.
A series of other protests began in Georgia on 28 November, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the suspension of consideration of the start of negotiations on the country's membership of the European Union until 2028. Protesters used firecrackers, bricks, bottles and Molotov cocktails were reportedly found at the scene. Law enforcement responded with special equipment, including water cannons.
The terrorist group "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham"* (formerly known as "Jebhat al-Nusra"*, a terrorist organization banned in Russia) together with several armed formations, part of the so-called armed opposition in Syria, on November 29 began an operation, advancing from the north of Idlib towards the cities of Aleppo and Hama. To date, the group has captured several cities, important buildings, including the international airport and the Quveiris military airport, which were seized by terrorists.
