Too many Russian bots in these comments

🤡 DW Why are you lying? Georgia did not classify non-government organizations as foreign agents, but rather classified foreign organizations that receive more than 20% of their funding from other countries, which is the same law that applies to America, Canada, and Ukraine, not just Russia.

Sauron is scared, his orchs are not managing to defeat the elves.

I Love this program ! Thank you DW. Brazil love you !!

Guys, you really must dial down that loud, constant, royalty-free music. I can't focus on a single word you're saying through all that.

Because of some foreigners can't understand: 1. The law is not about "Transparency". All of the NGOs are already transparent and everybody can see where they are founded from. They still have to submit their expences early and every spent cent is transparent. You can still make it more transparent if you put a small correction in already existing law for Granting, not implementing a new one only for them. 2. One of the problems of the law is this: All of the NGOs that are working in Georgia and have been doing great job for Georgia's development ( Health programms, Boarder control security, Anti-corruption programm, Student exchange programms, free lawyer programms and hundrends more) have to register themselves as foreign AGENTS. And someone will say that it is okay to be called an agent, BUT in the hands of politicians ( for example - in Russia and now in Georgia) it will be used for stigmatazing all of the NGOs that oppose the goverment. And these NGO's come from partner countries. Countries that we want to join alliance with. So caling friends foreign Agents will put that in the same spot as russian/chinese organizations. So if you want use this law make it sure to use it against enemy countries : Russia/Iran/China/North Korea. 3. This is the most frightening: All of the organizations which not register themselves as Agents allows the justice house to start an investigation. Which will halt their working. Justice house will have a right to take all of the private information from the organization and also from it's clients. *private information in this case means : Phones, connected people and even sexual life. And now: All of the Organization that register themselves as Agents, but in case of "Questioning" the justice house still has the right to stop the NGO for investigetion and also allows them to take private information. All of this is written in this law. And yes I read US one also. And trust me -> it's different. No EU country has the same law as it now inplemented in Georgia. Fazit: All of the NGOs that will oppose Goverment can be stopped and will be investigated. Investigetion can last for months and it will stop the organization from working. Goverment may use the private information of people for blackmailing and so on... So in the hands of the non-EU friendly goverment it will put Georgia on the Russian radar again. And the 80% of people want to join EU. So this takes us away from EU and our choice.

Protesting to allow foreign agents to interfere in your elections. Now you're thinking 😅😂

Is the US of A battle for influence spreading from Ukraine to Georgia and Moldova? This seams to be the question!

It's funny how Deutsche Welle's "experts" on Russia are always in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, but never in Russia🤣

Scary music sets the tone.

Wow DW be killing it everyday! Pretty awesome reporting yo! Ty ty o7

The world is changing definitly

Please, do keep me posted on this Georgian law.

Why did the guy get to answer all the questions

Unfortunately we are back to appeasement of 1938 : USA and NATO played into the hands of Putin by hesitation and always one step behind in providing assistance to Ukrainian Papa Schultz did not have the stamina to face Putin

This Is a "ChiasticSlide" : That Are Not Unsuspected. Well: Wath Will Happen In a Long Term Run? I Think That This Lay Back Into Time As a What Was Thing. //Jonas.

Misophonia. Off-click at 28 seconds.

Serbia will never even think of joining nato just like india Iran China South Africa brasil they are 1000% loyal behind Mr 21 Gunz shotz Salutezz President Wladmir Wladmirovisj Putin🤣🤣🤣

Who wouldn’t want their NGOs to be transparent about the origin of their funding…. What a weird debate…. The fact that Georgia is being conditioned on the accession to the EU if they pass this law is even weirder…. No wonder people are protesting

Russia can dominate Central Asia if they leave Eastern Europe alone and if they don’t try to push all the way to India. Westerners might denounce but won’t intervene in that scenario. Americans don’t want to be involved in Central Asia, as seen by withdrawal from Afghanistan. Right now, there is a power vacuum forming in Central Asia because of weakening Russian influence, and Turkey is trying to grow their power in the region while Russia is distracted.

Only 2 countries ? How wester influence? Spread to more than 100 countries ?😂😂😂😂

Thank you for this discussion DW - it is nice to know critical strategic thinking exists in the media...in the U.S.A. our media tends to just pander to current political populist topics of the day generated by unsocial media hit counts.

whats up with that music

- What is the US Foreign Agent Act? “The Foreign Agents Registration Act provides the public with an opportunity to be informed of the identity of persons engaging in political activities on behalf of foreign governments, foreign political parties and other foreign principals, so that their activities can be evaluated in light of their associations.” FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. - What is the Foreign Agent registration Act UK? FIRS requires the registration of particular activities or arrangements in order to strengthen the integrity of UK politics and institutions and protect the country from state threats. FIRS does not require that activities or arrangements must be approved before they can take place.

Ukraine failed it's counteroffensive miserable people knew there were not going to do counter offensive any time soon. But rather try to defend their early gain which is proven difficult

Russia imperialism failed in past And is failing in present. And Russia has no future Congo will be richer But then again hes trying to recolonize Africa .which will be a disater for Africa...

I would like to know why knowing who is and with how much money is financing foreign actress (NGO ) in the political space of Georgia is Russian meline influence. I live in the US and we have that law in the books since 1935 and nobody here nor in the EU is calling to repeal that law. In fact Russia an acted similar water down US law. How is it that pro EU crowd in Georgia have so much problems with off-shuts but not with those who originated the law. One observation, the people from Georgia interviewed for this segment speak English without accent I wander if they speak Georgian at all. Most likely they fill threaten by this law.

25:00 it's like the Snl sketch "whats up with that?"

(6:00) 80%? just yesterday it was 70... don't rush so much, otherwise you'll reach 110% ^_^ Plus, it’s really incomprehensible to me given the "occupation part of the territory", "millions people in immigration" and "hundreds in the front", how it is possible to conduct a representative sample?

What comes around goes around, get ready west. U gonna feel what globale south has been feeling for decades.

No war

These people live their own fake cocoons

I like misinformation so much so I click this video.

The total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in all areas of the special military operation over the past day exceeded 1,700 people and 67 units of heavy weapons and military equipment, including Western production.

Ukraine already used from long time ago in Belgora region American and West weapons, it’s not really new things.

Because she fail her mission by attack on India

The "FOREIGN AGENT" law is good to control the terrorism and to avoid misdeeds from enemy countries. India suffered a lot due to foreign countries free money inflow to so called NGOs who aided terrorist in Kashmir and other part of India, naxalite in most parts of India and many other misdeeds. It's only the similar laws in India that controlled the terrorism and naxalite... it's a good law.. people of Georgia should take judicious decision for the better interest of their country...

Monaco

Battle for influence assumes there’s a free sharing of ideas. It is something Putin would never allow.

Not difficult at all. Difficulties will arise at the judgement day before the prosecution for uprising against me and a Holy Order... St.Thomas

Proposed Georgian legislation is actually already in place in every major liberal democracy - they all have foreign interference laws.

😂 чо там ещё войнушка? 😂

Even Georgia wants Russia gone😂😂😂😂 Russia is a trash can fire🤣😂🤣

U$A has the same law , but its policy is like ... "Itself can install lock for its house , but Georgia cannot install lock to prevent/protect/defend from U$A meddling "

Georgia would be wealthier, happier and safer aligned with the West. Creativity and innovation thrives in open societies (Korean and Japan included).

DW anchor from India???

Congrats for the anti Russian team.

The law may be bad, but as the journalist (Anastasia?) said, Georgia is not doing it for the Russians or because of Russia’s pressure. How is this linked to Russia then ?

Watching this onesided analysis is time wasting. Journalism has rested indeed.

This news clip is misguiding the viewers. Georgia has brought a law as per which any ngo which is getting more than 25 percent of its funding from foreign countries is covered under this act including Russian and Chinese ngo. But the news clip tells the viewers that every non governmental organization is under the purview of this law which is definitely not the case.

21:18 😄This is the funniest quote in the whole show. "Ukraines membership in NATO as early as 2028". Isn't that too early?😄 Ukraine is in great shape after 2 years of war. It can definitely fight for another 4 years.😄

What are other West countries policy on the same subject....... this hypocrisy is huge.

Thanks USA 🇲🇩❤️🇺🇸

Funny DW. It's amusing.

A battle for influence? Who writes you these scripts? Imperialistic colonial expansion it is.

what language is the women speaking

So Russian Army is twice the size in numbers and equipment compared to what they were in 2022? This isnscary

Temu, happy workers, no forced labor, best materials, no lead. How is it so cheap? Dont worry about it.

Expanding NATO military from 12 to 31 states to Russian doorstep,, War can not avoid,, So European enjoys what did you do it 🤣

What silly comparisons between dictatorship and a country trying to be democratic. And which is at war and has a constitution that will be accepted by the EU? Are you real?

In fact USA has the same law.... 😂 Shame on you, West

As long as you keep our commissions goung. no election is required😂😂61 billion this will only last this fall and we need more funds for next winter. The boys cannot vote anyway and majority and oppositions are united. 😂😂😂

The questions for the region after the war are the same before the war. Basic services, human rights and a sustainable source of capital must be uniform. This has to be true for every nation on this planet. The UN Charter is specific, statehood is required on this world. Once Ukraine achieves statehood, and is governed the way properly democratically elected governments and attains to the benefits, its future will be quite bright. While Ukraine is under siege by Russia, which is hostile to the prospect, all that can be expected is crisis management, which will spread without the uniform.

*it's Russian backyard for god sake - Russia is NOT some banana republic as you intend to report*

DW, help fight Putin's disinformation by disabling comments.

2 years ago Russia was finished, it was collapsing, now they the propagandists are talking about this , 🤣🤣🤣

Making excuses for Ukraine not holding elections is sick

Four NAFO fanatics sitting around a table, talking about why America should run things... Even the "host" states definitively that Ukraine is losing because of a lack of Western weapons, rather than a lack of willing Ukrainians to fight.

Tucker carlson bots a.k.a. russian bots. Dont realize Donetsk oblast/ province is 60% ethnic ukrainian. So they spoke russian big deal. Africans speak french. They are not ethnic french...

russain law? us law?

Georgia yes. Moldova maybe.

Of course Hes a coward !!

Why is this guy lying? I allways play this game.. Why is this guy lying; what does he (or she) gain from telling their narrative? Its a fun game - you should try it.

The law in Georgia is not declaring anyone as agents but as implementers of foreign interests if the financing of these NGOs and TV stations consists of foreign funding, which is more than 20% of their financing. It encompasses declaration of financing and corresponding activities from NGOs and TV stations, which have been heavily envolved in politics, so it could be publicly available. Nothing more. It only provides administrative sanctions (fines) if declarations are not published. Much harsher laws, which provide criminal punishment, are active both in US and Russia..Law is also being adopted in France and other EU countries.. It also has been initiated in EU.. so stop spreading misinformation.. People have different oppinions in Georgia and it is natural..All oppinions must be respected.. but spreading misinformation from major platforms like yours and direct envolvement of EU officials in countries' sovernity is not right. And some incompetent Anastasias oppinions in your studio is not relevant. She is out of her element.

Kremlin trolls, India started paying for oil with bananas. If I were you, I'd start looking for another job.

Zelensky term has ended, every day he will lose legitimacy inside Ukraine. In political terms he is on the defensive now.

Impossible to listen this voice especially saying false information with a smart face
