I believe the days spent in Georgia will help the children and they will return to Ukraine with positive emotions”, Talakvadze said, thanking the Georgian ministry of youth and the country’s Ukraine embassy for their contribution in organising the visit.

The children will have an opportunity to travel to various destinations across Georgia and learn about the country’s history, culture and monuments.
