Personally, I have never mentioned Zelensky in a negative context - Zelensky is the president of a country that is currently in a state of war, this country is our friend. Therefore, I have always been careful with my words specifically regarding Zelensky, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated about his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky within the framework of the 8th Summit of EPC.

According to the Prime Minister, they are interested in having friendly relations in every way.

“Of course, there are challenges. These challenges have accumulated, but the friendship and relations between our countries have a very long history. We are ready to do everything to restore these relations as much as possible, and to reflect this in the relations between the governments.

All reasonable steps can be taken on our part. Naturally, we support the Ukrainian people, who are in a difficult situation today. We express solidarity with Ukraine, the Ukrainian people. We are in every way interested in the existence of friendly relations both between countries and between governments. Let's wait and see how events develop.

I cannot give details about yesterday's conversation. The problems that existed remain, neither Adeishvili, Lortkipanidze, nor the statements that were made, nor the decision to recall the ambassador, and so on, have gone anywhere. Yesterday we were essentially focused on a friendly conversation. We did not go into depth, including regarding the problems. There are problems, but we must be focused on the future.

Personally, I have never mentioned Zelensky in a negative context. There is a simple reason for this: despite the problems that have accumulated, Zelensky is the president of a country that is currently in a state of war, this country is our friend. Therefore, I have always been careful with my words, specifically regarding Zelensky. The problems that existed have not gone anywhere, however, we must be focused on the future," the Prime Minister noted.
