At a U.S. Helsinki Commission hearing entitled, "From Partner to Problem: Georgia’s Anti-American Turn," Representative Jake Ellzey discussed why the United States must stand up against Vladimir Putin and his fellow autocrats—China and Iran—and described Georgia as a tipping point in this struggle. Representative Ellzey thanked the Georgian people for their close partnership with the United States and their strength in resisting Georgia's ruling party dragging the country back into Russia's orbit. President Salome Zourabichvili then discussed how Putin has used Georgia as a testing ground for his methods of aggression and dismantling democracies throughout the region.
