Georgia says it’s westward – but state money keeps flowing to Russian companies, even as 20% of Georgia remains under occupation. We unpack how post-2022 “relocants,” sweetheart tax regimes, and permissive tenders turned Tbilisi into a profit center for Kremlin-linked business. From candy contracts to power lines and oil terminals, the dependency runs deeper than most admit. We lay out the receipts, the risks, and what a sovereignty-first procurement policy could look like.
