Georgia has “strongly supported" Ukraine in political, diplomatic and humanitarian dimensions since the beginning of the military aggression of Russia on the country, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said in a report on the Government's activities, submitted to the Georgian Parliament on Wednesday.
The PM’s written report noted the solidarity with Ukraine was manifested not only in “practical support in the bilateral format," but also with Georgia's “strong stance" within "all international platforms".
On February 28, Georgia acceded to the European Union restrictive sanctions on Donetsk and Luhansk [de facto breakaway regions of Ukraine]. At the same time, starting in February, the total number of statements, declarations and decisions in support of Ukraine by Georgia within international organisations has reached 260,” the report said.
Garibashvili also noted the diplomatic and consular missions of Georgia in Ukraine had not stopped functioning “for a single day” and remained on the ground in Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa when "most other states" had withdrawn their missions from the capital.
Since the beginning of the war, the Georgian Government has provided significant humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, including the accommodation and other resources to Ukrainian citizens entering Georgia. As of today, up to 1,000 tons of humanitarian cargo have been sent to Ukraine (150 tons by air and the rest by land). Georgia has already allocated $7 million to Ukraine and the country continues to assist 28,000 Ukrainians affected by the war and currently living in Georgia,” the Prime Minister concluded in the report.
The Georgian Government has supported Ukraine “at all international levels” and will continue to do so on the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of the country, Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili told a meeting of the Government on Monday.
