PM Kvirikashvili: Georgia firmly supports sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine

Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Kvirikashvili said this upon the meeting with Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman, also thanking Ukraine for unconditional support for the Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, Georgia Online reports.

"Unfortunately, our countries face similar problems and challenges. We firmly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, harshly condemn occupation and annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and illegal and aggressive actions of the Russian Federation in the eastern regions of Ukraine," Kvirikashvili said.

As the Georgian PM stated, "Russia's illegal actions in Ukraine are continuation of the aggression in Georgia in August 2008, which resulted in the occupation of the regions of Georgia: Abkhazia and the so-called South Ossetia / Tskhinvali Region."

Kvirikashvili also underscored the importance of mutual support and concerted actions of the two states in the international arena.
