During her visit to Pankisi, Ambassador of the US spoke about Georgia’s position on Ukraine developments.

“The most important thing is to come together, and I think that is also what Under Secretary Nuland was saying: all of our countries need to come together and show our support for Ukraine in every way possible. Georgia has been very outspoken in multi-lateral forums the UN, Council of Europe, and OSCE. The people of Georgia have been overwhelming in their generosity toward the people of Ukraine because you know what it is like to be at war and to be attacked for no reason, just because you want to be free.

So, I think really the emphasis needs to be on unity in a country that has suffered so much polarization, such as Georgia over the last few years. This is the time, this is the reason to come together. I feel it in the meetings that I’ve had today that people–their hearts and their prayers are with the Ukrainian people. And I hope that means that Georgians will come together as a country and stand firmly behind Ukraine at its moment of need”, - said Kelly Degnan.
