Irakli Kobakhidze, Chairman of the Georgian Dream, says that Georgia has a supportive position towards Ukraine.
As he told reporters, after consulting with other parties, it will be clear how Georgia expresses its support for Ukraine.
“Our position on these issues is very clear, and the parliament, of course, will state its position. Naturally, our position has no alternative, it is a supportive position towards Ukraine, it is the only thing we can express.
“As for the forms of expression, we will discuss it, including, of course, we will have consultations with other political parties,” Kobakhidze said.
For more than two months now, Russia has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops along the Ukrainian border. The West fears that Russia is planning an attack on Ukraine. The Kremlin justifies military mobilization for security reasons.
A meeting of the NATO-Russia Council was held in Brussels on January 12. After the meeting, Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO offered Russia concrete ways to increase the transparency of military exercises to avoid dangerous military incidents and reduce spatial and cyber threats.
Russia, for its part, has reiterated its demands: the abolition of NATO military positions near Ukraine, the refusal to expand the alliance, and the reversal of a decision made at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine and Georgia would inevitably become members of the alliance.
