Grigol Vashadze, a member of the Parliament, criticised David Arakhamia, a Ukrainian MP, for his “incomprehensible allegations of Georgia being used for circumvention of international sanctions placed on Russia”.

Vashadze condemned Arakhamia’s statements as being made “without any facts or evidence”, adding the claims were “not suitable for the alliance of the two countries”.

“I asked our Western allies a number of times whether accusations of sanctions circumvention involving Georgia were valid. I received a categorical “no” as their answer each time.

The Western partners were interested in how Georgia fulfils its obligations to the European Union under the Association Agreement, not propaganda statements. The President of the European Council Charles Michel said in a recent interview that Georgia is being judged by the results achieved in its democratic development”, - said Grigol Vashadze.
