On February 24, 2026, marking four years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, former Georgian President Salomé Zourabichvili stated on France Inter that the war represents a significant failure for Russia, attributing Ukraine's extraordinary resistance to President Zelensky. Despite acknowledging the Ukrainian people's fatigue from the conflict, cold, and human losses, Zourabichvili hailed their resilience as a "miracle." She detailed Russia's losses, including territorial gains, numerous deaths, a damaged military reputation, and diminished international support. Zourabichvili emphasized the critical need for European support, framing Ukraine's fight as crucial for Europe's future and freedom, warning that Putin's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, citing Russia's subversive warfare tactics and the erosion of democratic institutions, as seen in Georgia.
