The Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister, Teimuraz Janjalia, Monday met with the Chargé d’Affaires of Ukraine, Andriy Kasyanov, who was summoned to the Ministry over the information released by the Intelligence Service of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.

Expressing the Georgian side’s dissatisfaction with similar allegations, Janjalia highlighted that “such unverified information damages partner relations between the two countries.”

In a statement, the Georgian MFA said: “The Charge d’Affaires was asked to timely provide factual evidence of the information issued by the Intelligence Service of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, especially after Ukraine failed to present evidence to substantiate the previous allegations of the Ukrainian Intelligence Service (5 April 2022).”

The Ukrainian diplomat noted that he was unable to clarify of the Ukrainian Intelligence Service’s claims at the given stage and pledged to transmit the relevant messages to the competent authorities in the Capital.

Based on Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, the UNIAN earlier wrote that Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are negotiating with Moscow over the re-export of Russian products to international markets.
