EU suspends Georgia's accession process and freezes defense funding over "foreign influence" law.

The EU has suspended Georgia's accession process and frozen €30 million ($32 million) in defense funding due to Georgia's recent adoption of a law that critics claim undermines democratic freedoms. The EU Ambassador to Georgia, Pawel Herczynski, stated that the decision was made during the last EU summit, following the Georgian government's approval of the "foreign influence" law despite weeks of protests. The EU has warned that Georgia's path to membership will be blocked unless the "foreign influence" law is repealed.
