Parliamentary delegation visits Bucha and Irpin

Members of the Georgian parliamentary delegation, headed by Speaker Shalva Papuashvili visited the war-hit Ukrainian cities of Bucha and Irpin together with the Chairman of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk.

Chairman of the Ukrainian Rada thanked the Georgian colleagues and noted that it is always better to see the brutalities committed by the enemy firsthand. He also expressed gratitude for support to Ukraine.

“I am grateful to all Georgians, who support Ukraine and help the Ukrainian people, volunteers and stand with Ukrainian soldiers in defending our territory,” Stefanchuk said.

Shalva Papuashvili noted that the Georgian delegation arrived in Ukraine to express solidarity.

“What we saw in Bucha and Irpin, demonstrates the aggression that has no boundaries. This happens in the 21st century and this aggression is inhuman. These all reminds us of those scenes and feelings of 2008 Russian aggression in Georgia, Tskhinvali and Abkhazia regions. Of course, Georgian people know it better what the Ukrainians and the Ukrainian government feel,” Shalva Papuashvili said.

According to the Speaker, the response to the aggression should be lawful besides military and respectively, Georgia supported the application in the International Criminal Court.
