It must be marked that Chuck Hagel is the first American Minister of Defense who visited Georgia during last ten years. He underlined that aggression of Russia against Ukraine strengthened relations between USA and its European partners. The minister drew parallels between Ukraine and Georgia: ""Russia's actions here and in Ukraine pose a long-term challenge that the United States take very seriously," stated Chuck Hagel while meeting with the Ministry of Defense of Georgia Irakli Alasania. "But President [Vladimir] Putin's actions have brought the United States and our friends in Europe, including Georgia, closer together."
Mr. Chack hagel haven't explained the specifics of the aid of USA for Georgia. Georgia observes the combat actions in Ukraine. There must be said that in 2008 Russia and Georgia were fighting for the territory and it ended with losing lands for Georgia.
As Alasania said his country's "bitter experience" with Russia should be a warning for the world about Mr. Putin's intentions in Ukraine.
