Earlier today, Georgian president Salome Zourabichvili condemned the latest Russian strikes as “an indiscriminate attack on civilians meant to destroy [and] instil fear”.
Russia struck cities across Ukraine during rush hour on Monday morning, killing civilians and destroying infrastructure in an apparent revenge after president Vladimir Putin declared an explosion on Russia’s sea bridge to Crimea on Saturday a “terrorist attack”.
Cruise missiles hit busy intersections, parks and tourist sites in downtown Kyiv for the first time since Russia used them against the capital in June.
The war in Ukraine “must end as soon as possible”, and the “human tragedies we see in the 21st century must be stopped”, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, said on Monday in a remote meeting with representatives of Georgian diaspora organisations in Ukraine.
Georgia stands with Ukraine on the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of the country, and the Georgian Government has expressed its “strong support in all international formats”, Parliament Vice Speaker Archil Talakvadze said on Friday.
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.
Georgian president Salome Zourabichvili on Monday condemned the latest Russian strikes across Ukraine as “an indiscriminate attack on civilians meant to destroy [and] instil fear”.
