European Parliament member Anna Fotyga, in the annual report on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Georgia, raised the issue of amendment, whereby the European Parliament will honor the Georgian heroes fighting in Ukraine.
At the initiative of Fotyga, in the fourth paragraph of the "Annual report on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Georgia", where the aggressive war of Russia in Ukraine, joining the sanctions and the support of Ukraine and Georgia from the international community is discussed, an amendment will be added that the European Parliament will honor the fighters of the Georgian Legion who have been fighting in Ukraine since 2014.
"For our freedom and yours' has long been an unofficial motto of Poland, which quickly spread throughout Europe and America.
Today these words are being exercised in Ukraine. That's why I tabled this amendment to pay tribute to those Georgian heroes who defend Ukraine & Georgia as well." Fotyga wrote on Twitter.
Anna Fotyga also published the document on Twitter, in which the sentence added at the initiative of Fotyga can be seen in the fourth paragraph.
"Underlines that Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine calls for unity and solidarity on the part of the international community, as this will also be decisive for the restoration of Georgia's territorial integrity, which the international community did not defend with sufficient strength in 2008: welcomes the strong response of Georgian society in support of Ukraine; calls on the Georgian authorities to align with relevant statements from the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative for the Union on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on behalf of the EU and with Council decisions, in line with the country's European ambitions: calls on the authorities to align with EU sanctions and to ensure that international sanctions related to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is not circumvented via Georgia," the paragraph reads.
