Revaz Javelidze, the Head of the Georgian Government Administration, on Friday, said the country’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili had instructed the Ministry of Economy to purchase generators for providing them as an aid to Ukraine “in the shortest terms possible, APA's correspondent in Tbilisi reports.
Responding to “baffling” claims by the Ukrainian diplomatic representation in the country that the Georgian authorities had neglected some of their requests for aid, Javelidze claimed “every request or appeal” had been “discussed in detail and reacted to”.
The Georgian Government has ensured the maximum aid it could since the beginning of the [Russia-Ukraine] conflict in late February. We have never neglected the needs of the Ukrainian people”, the official said.
The comments follow statements by Andriy Kasianov, the Charge D'affaires of Ukraine in Georgia, who earlier this week said his office had requested provision of generators in the form of aid from the Georgian Government a month ago, with “no response so far”.
Kasianov also noted humanitarian aid was “crucial”, with millions of Ukrainians left without regular access to heat, electricity and water following Russian missile strikes on critical infrastructure across the country.
