Rati Bregadze: "It Is Possible that in Certain Cases Assessments May not Sound Pleasant, but We Will Continue the Series of Positive Actions that the Georgian government Is Taking Along with the Georgian People Towards Ukraine."
As Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze said on Imedi TV, the Georgian government, along with the Georgian people, supports the Ukrainian people and this support will continue in the future. Rati Bregadze noted that for many people living in Georgia, Ukraine is associated with many positive emotions.
"I deliberately spoke about the support that Georgia has shown to Ukraine. It is not only the support of the government; it is also the support of the people. Georgian and Ukrainian people have very good relations with each other. Naturally, when we talk about Ukraine, for me, personally, and for many people living in Georgia, it is associated with many positive emotions. We have our personal friends there and a lot of close people, whose fate we are sharing and taking to heart," said Rati Bregadze.
The Minister of Justice also spoke about the statement made by the President of Ukraine to the Georgian authorities today. According to Rati Bregadze, when Ukraine is at war, when there is a strong disinformation campaign in both Ukraine and Georgia, there is no time to evaluate this statement. The Minister also suggested that the reason for making this statement might be the ongoing disinformation campaign in Ukraine and Georgia.
"In some cases, some assessments may not sound pleasant, but I will remain in the same position that when people are in trouble, when there is a war on their territory ... when, by the way, there is a strong disinformation campaign, which, unfortunately, has been unleashed in Georgia as well, this whole prehistory may have some negative impact on the preparation of these statements. However, as I said, at this stage, I will refrain from this conversation and, on the contrary, we will continue the series of positive actions that the Georgian government is taking along with the Georgian people towards Ukraine,” said Rati Bregadze.
