The ongoing military operations by the Russian troops in Ukraine are unacceptable and contrary to the principles of international law, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said at the government meeting today, with the government head outlining his team’s initiatives for supporting Ukraine’s population under the circumstances.

Garibashvili detailed the government’s communication and solidarity with its Ukrainian counterpart, adding Georgian officials supported the decision of the Council of Europe to suspend Russia’s rights of representation.

“At the meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, Minister Davit Zalkaliani spoke very clearly about Georgia’s position. Georgia, together with 80 other states, has co-sponsored the UN Security Council resolution,” Garibashvili said.

On the initiative of the Georgian government, 100 tons of humanitarian cargo has been sent to Ukraine via Warsaw – including first-aid products, over 30 different kinds of medications, and oxygen concentrators. Garibashvili also reiterated Ukrainian citizens stranded in Tbilisi and unable to return to their home country would be provided with all services in the city free of charge.
