At least 50 people were killed and 100 wounded in the missile strike on a railway station. The station was packed with women, children and elderly trying to flee fighting, Ukrainian authorities said.
Georgia has been extending "clear and very active support" for Ukraine, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said on Friday in comments on the ongoing military actions in Ukraine.
Georgia, along with 92 other countries, has supported the suspension of Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council on Thursday.
Russia’s suspension from the human rights body was decided at the UN General Assembly over reports of “gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights” by Russian military forces in Ukraine.
The United States Government is in close contact with Georgian counterparts and the latter have stood by the international community over Ukraine, Ned Price, the US State Department Spokesperson, said in response to a question over allegations of Russia smuggling sanctioned products using Georgian territory.
Georgian officials on Sunday condemned the “inhumanity” of Russian troops directed against civilians in the city of Bucha and other places in Ukraine, and extended condolences to Ukrainian people amid the reported atrocities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia strongly condemned on Friday the missile strike on a railway station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk that killed 50 people.
