Grigol Vashadze: Prime Minister of Georgia is trying to damage the relations between Georgia and Ukraine as much as possible, it's either order or his own initiative

Prime Minister of Georgia is trying to damage the relations between Georgia and Ukraine as much as possible, it's either order or his own initiative, said Grigol Vashadze, an opposition member of Parliament.

As Vashadze puts it, "if this is an inability to form an opinion, it is sad, and if the Prime Minister really meant what he said, then it is a complete nightmare."

"In general, it should be the rule that in this very tense time every word must be properly considered first and then voiced. Prime Minister should entrust the discussion of these issues to professionals, otherwise one mistake will come to another and further strain the already tense relations," Grigol Vashadze said.

For reference, according to Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili, he said as early as February 25 that if anyone would be oppressed and punished by this war, it would be Ukraine. According to him, no one can stop it.
