Ukraine needs to prevent Russia from spreading disinformation after war end - Georgian National Legion commander Mamulashvili

He expressed his opinion on Espreso TV. 

Mamulashvili noted that Russia has not been able to assimilate in Georgia with its language. However, after almost 10 years of reforms, it still managed to seize political power in the country.

“And Ukraine will always have to be careful when carrying out any Russian narratives after the war,” he said.

He added that the transition to the state language plays an important role in separating from Russia.

“It is necessary and important to switch to the state language and minimize Russian influence, including language. Including religion, one of the subdivisions that have become Russia's propaganda. The processes that are taking place in Ukraine today are very important in terms of pro-Russian forces in religious circles,” the commander of the Georgian National Legion emphasized.

Mamulashvili also noted that the current situation in Georgia should be a lesson for both the country itself and Ukraine.
