Our government is very strict about the sanctions regime. There was a lot of speculation, then various monitoring missions came to our country, including American, European, British missions, and everyone confirmed that all statements about circumventing sanctions were completely speculative, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

According to Irakli Kobakhidze, this also applies to the Kulevi port.

"In reality, everything is clear here. We shared the relevant information with European structures, which confirms that no such fact has occurred. Our government strictly adheres to the sanctions regime. There was a lot of speculation, then various monitoring missions arrived in our country, including the American, European, British missions, and everyone confirmed that all statements regarding the circumvention of sanctions were completely speculative. This also applies to Kulevi. In this regard, we have sent full information to European structures.

Against such a background, when a person, a former president, comes out, it is clear what he is and who he is, but formally he still has such a status - a former president, and when he demands something that is naturally harmful to the country, this speaks volumes about the spirit of this person. With such a spirit, he caused the most serious harm to our country during the 9 years when he was in power, and then during the years when he was in opposition and he once again shows his face," the Prime Minister said in connection with the statement posted on social media by the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.

The third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, wrote on Facebook that he "strongly supports the sanctioning of the Kulevi port." According to Saakashvili, this is a fraudulent operation that serves the joint interests of Russia and Ivanishvili and finances the war against Ukraine.
