The aid, collected in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti and Guria municipalities, was eventually gathered in Georgia’s port city of Poti and will be sent to Ukraine by Georgian Post. 

The process was coordinated by Nino Vibliani, the First Deputy State Representative of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region.

Following a decision by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, the regional state representatives and the Government’s department of regional relations collected humanitarian aid throughout Georgia to assist the people of Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion of the country.
