The Government will resist any provocation aimed at escalating a new military confrontation with our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters. Such a statement made today the Chairman of the Georgian Dream.

“Another visit of the “war party” – United National Movement to Ukraine took place a few days ago. As it turned out, the visit was “successful” because upon its completion, senior Ukrainian officials began to speak openly about the need to open a second front in Georgia and bring the ongoing war in Ukraine to Georgia. The statement by the Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, was the clearest example of this.

The public that the main goal of all provocations organized by the UNM was to involve Georgia in the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and to open here the second front.

We want to emphasize that the Georgian Government remains committed to the policy of peaceful de-occupation and will resist all provocations aimed at escalating a new military confrontation with our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters. We all understand that any war in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali will not be a war only between Georgians and the Russian occupation forces, but also a war between Georgians and Abkhazians, Georgians and Ossetians. A new fratricidal war will be the greatest, unforgivable crime in the history of our country that we will not allow.

If the current difficult situation creates any window of opportunity, it is an opportunity to offer assistance to people living in the occupied territories to solve their social problems”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
