Russia lifts visa restrictions for Georgian citizens, enabling work and study without visas.

Russia has lifted visa restrictions for Georgian citizens, allowing them to work and study in the country without a visa. This decision, made ahead of Georgia's parliamentary elections, reflects improved relations despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties since a 2008 conflict. The move may influence Georgia's political landscape, as the ruling party adopts anti-Western positions. The EU has warned Georgia of consequences if the elections are deemed unfair.
