As a result the Western military bloc announced on Wednesday that it will help protect the Black Sea country from Russia’s “aggressive” cyberand misinformation threats.
A four-step strategy has been madefor providing Georgia ''hybrid defence'' according to James Appathurai, NATO’s special representative for the Caucasus.
''This implies protection from the methods and means that Russia uses against other countries, for example, cyberattacks or misinformation, energy blockade, covert intelligence or military activity,''Appathurai said.
Russia has hampered Georgia's chances of joing the NATO several times via territorial incursions.
As per NATO policy,countries with territorial conflicts cannot join the alliance.
