Deputy Defence Minister awards wounded soldiers

Georgian Deputy Defence Minister Grigol Giorgadze hosted soldiers who were wounded or injured during the 2008 August War or while performing peacekeeping missions.

The Deputy Minister thanked the military personnel for their loyal service, pledged support, and, on behalf of the Minister, gifted them with wristwatches in recognition of their successful participation in local and international sporting events in 2026.

Wounded and injured soldiers are regularly engaged in sports activities, which contribute to their motivation, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and social reintegration.

The Social Affairs and Phychological Support Department of the Defence Ministry implements various programs in support of military personnel and their family members.
