🇬🇪↔️🇺🇦 Recriminations between Georgian and Ukrainian officials continue despite many common ground.
📍During the briefing, Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine in Georgia Andriy Kasyanov said: “Despite numerous requests, we have not received a response from the Georgian government regarding the supply of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and other equipment to Ukraine. We still believe that our appeal for military assistance to fraternal Georgia at a time when it was about survival, life and death was completely justified, fair and necessary, since at one time the government of Ukraine helped in the evacuation of Georgian refugees in the mountains Svaneti, provided Georgia with the strongest humanitarian assistance in 1993, as well as military-technical and political assistance in 2008".
📍The executive secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party Mamuka Mdinaradze has already commented on the words of the representative of Kyiv in Tbilisi:
“For the first time I hear about generators… For the first time I hear this topic and I will find out. When the representative of Ukraine says that Georgia should supply weapons and military equipment to Kyiv, it is obvious that they objectively have no special expectations regarding the supply of special weapons or military equipment from Georgia. The message that this person voiced is that Georgia should be involved in an armed conflict. Our country provides Ukraine with unconditional political and humanitarian assistance beyond the scope and beyond its capabilities.”
❗️Earlier, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, speaking with condolences to the families of the Georgian soldiers who died in Ukraine, said: “We fought three times, my friends, we fought three times since we gained independence, this is enough. We want to unite the country peacefully, not by war, and this is a sound national policy.”
ℹ️ Georgia has long been ranked first in the number of humanitarian aid to Ukraine sent through the mail.
