The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine released a statement regarding the meeting of the Ambassador of Georgia to Ukraine Giorgi Zakarashvili and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Perebyinis.
According to the agency, the Deputy Minister Perebyinis expressed hope that Georgia will reconsider its position and join the circle of partners who supply weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, and Tbilisi will join all the sanctions imposed by the European Union against the aggressor state.
