In his comments about the Georgian Government’s assistance programs for Ukrainian nationals since the start of hostilities in their country last month, Tkemaladze said the Government was “trying its best” to create comfortable living conditions for the families stranded in Georgia by the war.

I am sure peace will be restored in Ukraine soon and Ukrainian children returning to their country will have many pleasant memories of Georgia,” Tkemaladze told the families.
