International sanctions are closing in on the “Georgian Dream” rule, now targeting judges, prosecutors and investigators as instruments of repression. Collaboration with the “Russian regime” comes at a high cost, but living with your conscience will cost even more.

Another week, another ruthless Russian attack on civilians in Ukraine - this time the deadliest since 2023. Moscow's actions speak louder than its words.

Russia's economy is weaker than Putin wants the world to believe. Maintaining economic pressure is crucial to stopping Russia's devastating violence in Ukraine.

Freedom of the press is a direct threat to dictators like Putin. Russia’s status as the world’s fifth-worst jailer of journalists confirms this.

As U.S. Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman, I have urged OSCE Secretary General Sinirlioğlu to postpone his trip to Tbilisi. Any visits to the illegitimate Ivanishvili regime would only be misrepresented as an endorsement of their tyrannical takeover. We must stand with the Georgian people!
