My Government has been providing substantial humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and Ukrainian people since the beginning of the war, said the Prime Minister of Georgia at the General Debate of the 78th Session of the United Nations.

“As we strive for peace, prosperity, progress, and sustainability for all, it is disheartening to witness aggression against a UN member state. The war in Ukraine reawakens the trauma of the 2008 war in Georgia.

We feel the pain and hardships that Ukraine currently faces and stand in full solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

We have sponsored, joined, and supported more than 500 resolutions, statements, joint statements and other initiatives by major international organizations and institutions to support Ukraine and Ukrainian people. Our Western partners, including the United States, EU, and UK, have repeatedly praised our compliance with all international financial sanctions.

My Government has been providing substantial humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and Ukrainian people since the beginning of the war, both in the country and to those currently residing in Georgia. Georgian schools have welcomed more than 2,200 Ukrainian students, ensuring that most of them receive education in the Ukrainian language while following the official Ukrainian curriculum”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
