![THE WEST SHOULD EXERT EVERY EFFORT TO MAKE RUSSIA PAY THE HIGHEST PRICE POSSIBLE FOR ITS AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR](https://cdn.magzter.com/1367307635/1715865182/articles/aT5DsCSwH1715942722876/THE-WEST-SHOULD-EXERT-EVERY-EFFORT-TO-MAKE-RUSSIA-PAY-THE-HIGHEST-PRICE-POSSIBLE-FOR-ITS-AGGRESSIVE-BEHAVIOR.jpg)
If Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan to take Kyiv within a few days was successful, Georgia, located in the Caucasus region, would have been under tremendous risk of expecting the same.
