The international community must do its best to stop the war in Ukraine, Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili said on Friday.

Papuashvili emphasised Georgia was using all the necessary tools within its capabilities to help the country amid the military assault on it.

Everyone agrees that the number one task is to stop the war. We see tragic pictures from Ukraine. The war can not be justified. The first task is to stop the war, and the international community has the tools to stop it, the Parliament official noted.

Papuashvili also made comments about Georgia’s ongoing support for the state under attack, highlighting the Government’s votes in support of Ukraine at international platforms.
