At least 50 people were killed and 100 wounded in the strike on the railway station. The station was packed with women, children and elderly trying to flee fighting, Ukrainian authorities said.
Supporting Ukraine is a human and historical duty of the Georgian Government and the latter is intent on fulfilling it despite the “unfair and unfounded allegations” heard from Ukrainian authorities, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, said on Friday.
President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili on Friday strongly condemned a missile strike on a railway station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.
Georgia has aligned with the European Union declaration condemning the atrocities committed by the Russian armed forces in a number of Ukrainian towns, including Bucha.
The declaration states that the Russian authorities are responsible for the committed atrocities and are subject to the international law of occupation.
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.
