Irakli Kobakhidze, like his teammate Mamuka Mdinaradze, says that he is not going to visit Ukraine.

He said that he took a strong position on the current events in Ukraine by adopting a resolution.

“I am not planning to visit Ukraine. We are watching the events and depending on how things turn out, we will make a concrete decision. We will decide on any step, whether it is a visit or a statement. We have expressed a very loud position on the events in Ukraine,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.

The Georgian parliament passed a resolution in support of Ukraine on February 1 without even mentioning Russia.

The Georgian Dream and the opposition worked in parliament for two days to draft a resolution in support of Ukraine, but could not agree on the text of the statement.

The joint drafting of a political act in support of Ukraine was demanded by the parliamentary opposition, but the ruling team did not take their remarks into account. Nowhere in the final version of the text is Russia and its aggression mentioned, which was one of the main demands of the opposition. The wording of the text about Russia and NATO, as well as the title of the text, were disputed.
