Igor Dolgov, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Georgia, has been spotted in Tbilisi after his recall by the Ukrainian Government earlier this month, with Rustavi 2 channel releasing a footage showing the official in the capital city on Monday.
The Ambassador was spotted at his residence in Tbilisi but declined comments to reporters.
This is a private residence. Please read the Vienna Convention and follow the rules. Otherwise, I will call the police,” Dolgov told the Rustavi 2 crew.
Dolgov is scheduled to make a statement for the media at 3pm today.
On March 1, Ukraine recalled its Ambassador for consultations, with President Volodymyr Zelensky citing the Georgian Government's refusal to allow volunteers in Georgia to take part in the war in Ukraine as the reason for the move.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has refrained from commenting on the recall of the Ukrainian Ambassador to Georgia, adding the Georgian government would “always act in the interests of our country and our people” in its decisions.
Georgia's stance on the ongoing war in Ukraine is "absolutely clear" to the country's Western partners, Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani said on Tuesday in an interview with TV Imedi.
Georgia will continue to provide both political support and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine "within its capabilities", Ilia Darchiashvili, the Head of the Administration of the Government of Georgia, said on Tuesday.
Allowing volunteers from Georgia to fight in Ukraine would mean a direct involvement in the conflict, "which we will not do", the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) Party Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said on Tuesday.
Andrei Kasyanov, the Charge d'affaires of Ukraine in Georgia, said on Tuesday he would “immediately inform” the Georgian Foreign Ministry about the resumption of the duties of Igor Dolgov, the Ambassador of Ukraine in Georgia.
Andriy Kasianov, the charge d'affaires of Ukraine in Georgia, on Tuesday said the appointment of Ukraine’s new ambassador to Georgia “is on the agenda of bilateral relations”, following the recall of previous ambassador Igor Dolgov in March.
