that is what georgia can do. of course, we are not a country that, given our situation, the occupation of our territories and our resources, we cannot provide arms, we cannot be doing what countries that are a part of the european union or nato can do, but moral support is very important, and i stand for that. >> let me ask you, madam president, are you personally in touch with president zelenskyy? if so, what is your understanding of where things are today in ukraine? >> well, i think what i've heard also through your channels is that the situation is very dire, everybody is expecting a second stage of the russian invasion and one that has not been -- and that's something we shouldn't forget, has not been successful in this first 46 days, if i'm not mistaken, and that's a huge success for ukrainians. now russia is trying to recomposite self, changing general, changing probably strategy, but not changing the strategy which is to be directed against civilians and not only against the military forces, and that is s
