Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday said “difficulties” between the authorities of the two countries were being caused by “specific decisions” by the Ukrainian Government.
In his comments to the media at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin, Kobakhidze cited Ukraine’s recalling of its Ambassador from Georgia in 2022 and expulsion of the Georgian Ambassador from the country.
These were not correct steps, but they will not stop us from striving to provide maximum assistance to the Ukrainian people”, the PM said in reference to Ukrainian nationals stranded in Georgia after Russia's ongoing military aggression in their country.
