Tbilisi City Hall and the City Council are ready to discuss naming one of the squares in the city the Ukrainian Heroes Square, the Embassy of Ukraine in the country said on Thursday.
The diplomatic office revealed the information following a meeting between Andrei Kasyanov, the Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine in Georgia, and Kakha Kaladze, Tbilisi Mayor, earlier during the day.
In the meeting, urgent assistance to Ukrainian citizens forced to flee the country amid the Russian invasion, establishment of Ukrainian sectors in Georgian preschools, and financial assistance to the Kyiv City State Administration were discussed.
The Ukrainian side also expressed gratitude to the Tbilisi Mayor’s office for the 50 tons of humanitarian aid recently delivered to Ukraine that included food, medicine, clothing and other items.
Parents of 110 Ukrainian students have enrolled their children in Georgian schools following an offer from the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia for continuing their studies in the country as the war in Ukraine prevents them from going back, the Ministry announced earlier on Tuesday.
A total of 38 children affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine have been enrolled in Georgian schools, Tamar Makharashvili, the Georgian Deputy Minister of Education, said on Friday.
Makharashvili noted the Ukrainian students would be able to join Georgian schools in a “simplified procedure,” meaning they would still be accepted without the documentation.
Ukrainian citizens currently in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi will receive services of a select group of sports centres, museum venues, theatre halls, libraries and art schools free of charge, Tbilisi City Hall announced earlier today.
A humanitarian aid point will be opened in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi on Friday, to serve as a collection point for entrepreneurs, organisations and individuals to donate food and other basic necessities for Ukrainian citizens affected by the war, Deputy Tbilisi Mayor Ilia Eloshvili said on Thursday.
Georgia, along with 92 other countries, has supported the suspension of Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council on Thursday.
