The decision applies in Russia. Droa said the decision targeted its position that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are occupied Georgian territories, and reaffirmed that they belong to Georgia.
Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office designated Georgia’s opposition Droa party an “undesirable” organization on Russian territory in a November 5 statement. Droa is led by jailed politician Elene Khoshtaria, who founded the party in 2021, and belongs to the opposition Coalition for Change.
The report does not specify the designation’s detailed legal penalties or practical consequences.
The office accused Droa members of holding “strongly Russophobic views” and seeking to discredit Russia’s actions regarding Georgia. It also said the party opposes normalizing political, economic and cultural-humanitarian relations with Russia and wants the two countries to restore a visa regime and suspend direct flights. Civil.ge said the office also cited Droa’s position that Russia occupies Abkhazia and South Ossetia in violation of international law and Georgian sovereignty.
Droa said the designation targeted, among other things, its position that the two regions are occupied Georgian territories and that Russia violates international law and Georgia’s sovereignty. The party reaffirmed that the territories belong to Georgia.
Droa also said the decision targeted its exposure of what it called secret ties between Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream party and Moscow. It called Ivanishvili’s government Russian and pledged to end it. The party also declared its goal of Georgian membership in the European Union and NATO.
Khoshtaria was detained on 15 September 2025 after writing “Russian Dream” on a campaign banner of Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze. In March 2026, a court sentenced her to 1 year and 6 months in prison after finding her guilty of property damage.
