Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili with his son and daughter on Wednesday visited the Tbilisi No. 41 Public School offering classes to 211 Ukrainian students in their native language.
The head of the Government said the pain Ukrainian people were experiencing following the Russian invasion of their country was “familiar for Georgians”, in reference to the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia and the ongoing occupation of the country’s regions by Russian forces.
I wish for our Ukrainian friends to return home peacefully. We are expressing maximum support and [showing] attention to the Ukrainian people stranded in Georgia [following the invasion], and this support will continue in the future,” Garibashvili said.
