Ukraine’s Chargé d’Affaires Andrei Kasianov informed that the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk invited members of different parliaments, including Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, to come and see the war tragedy and killings in Bucha.

“The Rada Chairman invited all members of parliaments to arrive in Bucha and eyewitness the crimes. Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili also received the invitation,” Kasianov said.

Remarking on the allegations of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine about sanctioned freight smuggling through Georgia, Kasianov said that communication between the Georgian and Ukrainian relevant agencies continues. He did not comment on the statement by the Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, tagging the claim as “absurd.”

“The Embassy of Ukraine in Georgia will not comment on the statements of high-ranking officials. Our main task is to develop a partnership with Georgia and intensify interstate relations. It meets the needs of the Ukrainian and Georgian nations,” Kasianov said.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine on April 4 announced that Russia was creating channels for smuggling military and other products under sanctions, which would pass through the territory of Georgia with the consent of the government.
