Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Thursday said a Russian attack on Odesa during a visit of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the port city on Wednesday was “another example” of the Kremlin’s “cowardly tactics”.
“It will not succeed in its attempt to intimidate Ukraine or Europe. And that will only reinforce solidarity from all of us”, Zourabichvili said in a social media message.
The attack on #Odesa during President @ZelenskyyUa and PM @kmitsotakis visit is another example of Russia's cowardly tactics. It will not succeed in its attempt to intimidate Ukraine or Europe. And that will only reinforce solidarity from all of us.

Irakli Beraia, the Chair of the Defence and Security Committee of the Parliament of Georgia, on Monday said the ongoing war in Ukraine was a “continuation” of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Georgia in 2008 and a “result of the failure of the international community” to “hold the aggressor accountable” at that time.
Georgian officials affirmed their “unwavering” support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine on Saturday, marking the second-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country.
Georgia “firmly stands” by “the friendly Ukrainian people”, which has been expressed “not only by words” but also by “strong” political and humanitarian support, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Saturday marking the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Friday said it was his Government's “duty” to provide “maximum” political and humanitarian support to Ukraine amid the latter’s ongoing war with Russia.
