It became known today that Russia has lifted economic sanctions on Georgian milk and wine in order to gain Georgia's favor during the war in Ukraine. I am Georgian and I want to remind all Georgians that when Russia treacherously attacked Georgia, Ukraine immediately, without considering its economic loss, showed all necessary support to Georgia - provided arms, helped with military instructors, to stand with a friendly, brotherly nation. In your opinion, now that Russia has already attacked Ukraine, has Georgia responded properly to Ukraine? Please, Georgian people, I believe in you – clarify with your government, resolve this issue, because we would not want to see such a betrayal from the Georgian people. I have always been proud to be Georgian, while living in Ukraine and being in power here. I am really ashamed today," said David Arakhamia.
