18 Years After the War: “Nobody Is Waiting for Them Here. Putin Needs to Know This”

It has been 18 years since the August war of 2008. It was then that Europe first confronted overt Russian aggression against an independent state. In 2022, it became obvious that the lessons had never been learned.

How did the 2008 war change Georgia? Why are its consequences still felt today? What is happening in the occupied regions now, and what conclusions should the world have drawn?

We discuss this in a new episode of “Ardashelia Live” with conflict analyst and former State Minister for Reconciliation Paata Zakareishvili.
