US Ambassador encourages Georgia and Ukraine to discuss particular issues at government level
“Ukraine is fighting for every city, for every life. And this is not the time when Georgia and Ukraine to be against each other, This is the time for these two countries to come together against the occupier of both of their countries,” said Tuesday US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan.
“These are very serious allegations, and as I’ve said before, this kind of discussion, in my view, should be held government to government and not through the media. No offense to the media, but I think there are some issues that are particularly [inaudible] when Russia is waging, a war against Ukraine. It should be discussed government to government. I heard the Georgian government has responded to these accusations and Mr. Arakhamia has not produced any evidence. So I would encourage them to discuss this government to government through diplomatic channels instead of doing this in public, because again, this kind of back and forth between Georgia and Ukraine only benefits Russia. Ukraine is fighting for every city, for every life. And this is not the time when Georgia and Ukraine to be against each other. This is the time for these two countries to come together against the occupier of both of their countries,” Kelly Degnan stated.
