The Georgian Foreign Ministry has thanked the international community for the ‘strict and immediate’ condemnation of Russia’s widespread cyber attack against Georgia back in October 2019. 

Briefly we stated yesterday that Russia stood behind the cyber attack last year, about 20 countries condemned the action which shows that Georgia is not alone in combating severe challenges,” Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Vladimer Konstantinidi said earlier today.

He stated that the support of foreign states in the situation was ‘unprecedented.’ 

The US, UK and a number of European states condemned the cyber attack yesterday, with Canada, Ukraine, Australia and Latvia joining them today.
