In what way controlling it or making sure that propagandas don't lie
The answer is Republic of Georgia
Russia is often described as an Energy Superpower and currently provides huge amounts of Oil and Gas to most of Europe.
Large parts of Europe are already dependent on Russian gas which is critical to survival in the harsh winters of Germany or Ukraine.
Georgia, which is an ex-Soviet country and borders Russia is also highly dependent on importing its energy needs.
After the Russia-Georgian War of South Ossetia, Georgia faced a miserable defeat and sought help from the United States both moral and economical.
One of the major policy changes suggested to Georgia was to decrease its energy dependence on Russia.
