  Lithuania and Estonia have imposed sanctions against Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and several government officials, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budris announced on X on Dec. 15.

The article from MSN discusses how Lithuania and Estonia have imposed new sanctions on Georgian officials in response to the Georgian parliament's passage of a controversial "foreign agents" law. This law requires organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents, a move seen by critics as an attempt to stifle dissent and align with Russian policies. The sanctions target Georgian judges, prosecutors, and investigators believed to be involved in suppressing opposition and civil society. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis and Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna have both condemned the law, with Landsbergis calling it a "Kremlin-inspired" move that undermines Georgia's European integration. These sanctions reflect the broader geopolitical tensions and the EU's concerns over democratic backsliding in Georgia.
