Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, called the statement of the Main Intelligence Division of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine on Russia creating smuggling channels for sanctioned products using Georgian territory a “lie” and “unacceptable”.
Papuashvili responded to the statement of the Ukrainian agency on Twitter, saying “this type of misinformation from the partner country, especially in these conditions, is completely unacceptable."
Simply put, this is a lie! This type of disinformation from a partner country, especially in these circumstances, is totally unacceptable. https://t.co/xAm9nwD3Gd

The Ministry of Finance of Georgia said on Monday the information was “a completely baseless and absurd accusation.” The Ministry declared "with full responsibility" that “any type of goods, both military and of dual-use, as well as all the products that are included in the list of sanctions, are subject to strict customs control by the Georgian Government.”
