The Spokesperson of the Department of State talked about the sanctions imposed by Ukraine on Bidzina Ivanishvili’s family members.

“We have a close working relationship with our Ukrainian partners. I would need to defer to them to speak to any sanctions that they may have issued. When it comes to Georgia – you’ve heard us say this on a number of occasions.

I think I have made this point to you previously – that we remain committed to working with Georgia’s Government as it undertakes the reforms that have been called for by the European Union, by the European Commission in this case. We want to work with Georgia on its path and on its broader European aspirations”, - said Ned Price.
