Georgian Parliament adopts a resolution in support of Ukraine initiated by the Georgian Dream

The Parliament of Georgia has adopted a resolution in support of Ukraine. The draft resolution was supported by 74 deputies.

The document is named "On a possible military escalation in Ukraine". The author and initiators of the resolution are the Georgian Dream MPs: Giorgi Khelashvili, Maka Bochorishvili, Levan Karumidze, Givi Mikanadze and Tamar Taliashvili.

The draft resolution was not signed by any parliamentary group except the representatives of the Georgian Dream. The main reason for the criticism from the opposition is that the Russian Federation is not mentioned in any of the points of the draft.

The resolution prepared by the Georgian Dream reads:

"Parliament of Georgia - based on the Constitution of Georgia, legislation and international agreements; welcoming the recognition and establishment of the principles of peace and cooperation in international relations;

Adhering to international order based on the principles of international law and universally recognized norms of the international community, including the principles of the inviolability of borders and territorial integrity and the sovereignty of the state;

Expresses its deep concern at the possible military escalation in Ukraine and condemns any intention that may be directed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state, which poses a new threat not only to Ukraine but also to regional peace and security;

Declares that membership in the North Atlantic Alliance is a sovereign right of the state and that any attempt to restrict this right by military-political means is categorically unacceptable;

Believes that the prevention of war in Ukraine should be a major concern of the international community;

Expresses solidarity with the friendly Ukrainian people, who could be severely harmed by any possible military escalation.

In view of all the above, the Parliament of Georgia calls on the Government of Georgia, through the use of diplomatic instruments and in close coordination with strategic partners, to continue its contribution to the prevention of war in Ukraine."
