Georgia formally applies for EU membership
Source: MSN
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said on Thursday that his country had officially applied for membership in the European Union.
"We are applying today for EU membership," Garibashvili said in a statement after signing the application letter, according to dpa news agency. "Georgia is a European state and continues to make a valuable contribution to its protection and development," he added.
Georgia's move comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged his country's membership amid Russia's ongoing invasion.
Both Georgia and Ukraine are former Soviet states that fear a renewed takeover by Russia.

From what I found in Wikipedia, Georgia is a transcontinental country located in the Caucasus, at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is a member of international organizations across both Europe and Asia, and is working on becoming a member of NATO
