We’ve seen horrible pictures from the war which is beyond any common sense, judgement or imagination,” Talakvadze tweeted.
The Parliament official expressed “deep condolences” to the victims of the massacres committed by invading Russian troops, and extended “full support” to Ukraine and the Ukrainian nation “in these difficult days.”
On April 4, Ukrainian officials said bodies of 410 civilians had been found in the two locations of the Kyiv area that were retaken from Russian forces. Satellite images showed a 14-metre-long mass grave in Bucha.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday thanked diplomatic missions of foreign countries in Kyiv, including the Embassy of Georgia, for their support to the country in the wake of the Russian invasion.
Georgia has taken “specific steps” to show support for Ukraine, and the country stands with the Ukrainian people in “every possible way”, Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of the ruling Georgian Dream party, said on Monday.
Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, along with the parliamentary delegation of Georgia, met with Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Chair Ruslan Stefanchuk and denounced Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine on an official visit to the country on Saturday.
Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party, on Monday condemned the “sadism” of Russian troops directed against civilians in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, and extended condolences to Ukrainian people amid the reported atrocities.
The Helsinki Commission, the US government agency for security and cooperation in Europe, commended the visit of the Georgian parliamentary delegation, led by Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, to Ukraine amid the war, saying their display of solidarity was “heartening to see.”
Oleksandr Merezhko, the Chair of the Committee on Foreign Policy in Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, said on Friday the Georgian parliamentary delegation’s visit to Ukraine was “extremely important.”
Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Ukrainian Parliament Speaker, on Friday thanked speakers of parliaments of foreign countries, including his Georgian counterpart, who have visited Ukraine to express their support in the face of Russian aggression.
