Georgia's US Ambassador's Husband Linked to Sanctions Law Firm
Georgia's new ambassador to the United States, Tamar Taliashvili, has a husband named Davit Kukhalashvili.
He is the director of a law firm in Moscow called DTK Partners.
This firm helps Russian businesses that are affected by sanctions from the EU and the US.
They advise on how to get back frozen money and deal with complicated rules.
Some of their clients include big Russian companies and institutions.
An expert says that because of the firm's work, it might not be fully independent from the Russian government.
This could mean that Georgia is trying to stay close to Russia.
