EU Ambassador to Georgia, Carl Hartzell, Wednesday said Georgian authorities had a clear answer on the accusations of Ukraine’s military intelligence. The remark came after the allegations of Ukrainian authorities on Russia smuggling sanctioned products via Georgian territory.

The Ambassador believes the two sides should continue to share information to “handle this situation expediently.”

“With regard to very severe accusations or revelations from the Ukrainian military intelligence, it is something that obviously is serious in nature and needs to be taken seriously. At the same time, we have heard very clear answers from the side of Georgian authorities with regard to not seeing these risks or practices taking place. I can say from my side that I have no information or intelligence that would support the Ukrainian claims,” EU Ambassador asserted.

Carl Hartzell noted that the EU is working together with Georgia, the United Nations, OSCE, and the Council of Europe to isolate Russia as much as possible.

“In this context, I am very happy to see the support of Georgia for our positions in these organizations and later this week we are hoping to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council as a consequence of what we have seen in Bucha and we are counting Georgia’s support also on that. In terms of what we expect from a partner like Georgia, it is the solidarity that we are all sharing with Ukraine and the Ukrainian population,” EU Ambassador stated.
