"On behalf of the Ukrainian people and myself, I sincerely wish you a happy Independence Day.

The relationship between our peoples is based on mutual assistance and respect. This is especially important in the context of Russia's full-scale predatory armed aggression against Ukraine.

Our state has always consistently supported and will continue to support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders.

I am sure that the Ukrainian and Georgian people will de-occupy their territories, return just peace to Ukraine and Georgia and security to the Black Sea region. Dear Ms. President, I wish you good health and success in your state activities, and peace and prosperity to the Georgian people!" - reads the letter.
