David Arakhamia, the majority leader of Ukraine’s Parliament, saying he is “one of the main initiators, insisted on Georgia be rejected candidate status. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia during the presentation of the annual report of the Government’s work in the Parliament.

“I would like to tell another important information to our citizens. The majority leader of Ukraine’s Parliament, David Arakhamia, is one of the main initiators, insisted on Georgia be rejected candidate status and who is a friend of our opponents.

Europe practically faced an ultimatum that if Georgia received the candidate status, they [Ukraine] would be very disappointed.

We have heard publicly, Mr. Arakhamia, who has Georgia surname, is coming out with shameful accusations. He said that we are helping the Russian sanctioned companies. To date, they didn’t present any facts. Where is your reaction, where is your patriotism? I think everything is clear to most of our citizens", - said Irakli Garibashvili.
