The President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili told CNN's Jake Tapper that she doesn't believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin is only aiming to take select regions of Ukraine, but that he's "destroying the whole country."
"It doesn't look anymore that he's just aiming at annexing a few regions. It now looks that he's destroying the whole country. It's a war of mass destruction in a way," Zourabichvili said.
She added, " I heard his declarations today that all of that is moving according to plans, I'm not so sure that it's according to plans... He was not planning on the way Ukraine is resisting. He had a mass assault that was very psychological with his forces that were used from all sides. And it has not worked. Of course militarily, he has superiority, which one day or the other will manifest itself. But the determination and the resistance of the Ukrainian people and leadership is really very admirable."
A former Soviet Republic Georgia has recently formally signed an application for membership into the European Union, CNN reports.
