**UK To Limit Aid to Georgia**
The UK will no longer fund certain programs that help the Georgian government. This decision was made because of democratic backsliding in Georgia.
According to the UK Ambassador, Gareth Ward, this position was announced in December and still stands today. The UK wants Georgia to improve its democracy before they will resume funding these programs.
However, the UK will continue to fund civil society groups in Georgia. They believe that these organizations are essential for a healthy democratic system.
The UK also wants Georgia’s economy to succeed. The Ambassador said that he is positive about new economic partnerships and cooperation in Georgia. He noted that British Airways and EasyJet will start flying from London to Georgia in March, making it easier for people to visit and do business there.
