The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the use of images depicting “suffering and blood of thousands of innocent people, destruction of churches” in political advertisements of Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream party.
The statement, published on September 26, on the official website of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, reads: “The Georgian people may not be afraid of a new war as long as Ukraine resists Russian aggression. The terrible price of this resistance is also the price of peace in Georgia.”
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called on the Georgian government, Georgian Dream party, and all interested parties to refrain from using the topic of the war against Ukraine and the suffering of its citizens as part of the internal political struggle.
The statement also emphasizes that Ukraine strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders.
“We hope that the parliamentary elections in Georgia will be held in a peaceful and democratic manner, and the Georgian people will continue the strategic course of joining the EU and NATO.” – reads the statement.
