Georgia will continue to provide political support to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people at “absolutely all international platforms”, in addition to ensuring humanitarian assistance, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Executive Secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party, said on Wednesday.
Mdinaradze expressed “regret” at statements critical of the Georgian Government by some representatives of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Government since the outbreak of hostilities following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last month.
In a given situation, we will not dwell on the details and will not really enter into a discussion [over the matter of the comments]. On the contrary, we will continue to provide political support to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people at absolutely all international platforms, as well as humanitarian support,Mdinaradze said.
The Georgian MP’s comments follow Ukraine’s recall of its Ambassador from Georgia for consultations last week, with President Volodymyr Zelensky citing the Georgian government's refusal to allow Georgian volunteers to take part in the conflict as the reason for the move.
In his comments, Mdinaradze emphasised Russia was conducting an “open aggression and war” on the territory of Ukraine, violating “absolutely all international norms”. The GD official said “Georgia, whose territories are occupied by Russia, faces a major challenge” in the circumstances.
The ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine, issues related to European security and Georgia’s application for European Union membership were discussed by Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani and his Swedish counterpart Ann Linde in a phone call on Wednesday.
A United States Senator on Tuesday asked the Undersecretary of State about plans to help Georgia and Moldova in case the Russian Government decides to “cross the borders” into the countries on the back of its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The Georgian Government is doing everything to "alleviate the difficult moments" for the Ukrainian people under the ongoing invasion of the country by Russia, Vakhtang Gomelauri, the Interior Minister, told reporters on Wednesday.
It is “extremely important” for the European Union that Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova are “under its umbrella”, Gia Volski, an MP from the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party and Vice Parliament Speaker, said on Wednesday.
The “radical opposition” in Georgia has “unleashed a powerful information war against the Georgian Government and its own country”, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Executive Secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party, told a briefing on Wednesday.
Sponsored pages and videos featuring war propaganda have appeared on social media and various web pages over the recent days, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Executive Secretary of the Georgian Dream ruling party, said on Wednesday.
The situation in Ukraine is a “catastrophe” and the entire world must “wake up” and stand up to such events in the 21st century, Mikheil Sarjveladze, the Chairman of the Committee on Human Rights of the Georgian Parliament, told journalists on Thursday.
Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili reaffirmed the Government’s support for Ukraine amid Russia’s military aggression in a letter to Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Chair of the Verkhovna Rada, on Saturday.
The ruling Georgian Dream party and opposition MPs on Sunday asserted the country was on a “peaceful path” and would not get involved in war, following remarks by Oleksiy Danilov, the Ukrainian Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, who said Georgia would “greatly help” Ukraine by opening military fronts against Russia to forcefully regain control over the occupied breakaway Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party in the Parliament, on Tuesday said the “radical wing” of the domestic opposition was proceeding with its “harmful, anti-state” campaign by telling the international community “lies” about Georgian authorities failing to fulfil the conditions outlined by the European Union for granting its membership candidate status to the country.
