Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili has vowed "unwavering support" for Ukraine in a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart on the sidelines of the informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Prague.

On August 31, the Georgian official told Dmytro Kuleba he hoped the war in Ukraine would “end soon” and “peace and stability” would be established in the country, according to the Tbilisi-based website Agenda.ge.

Darchiashvili also discussed the role of the Associated Trio countries in the Black Sea region and the European integration process of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, the Georgian foreign office said.

The two ministers welcomed the invitation of representatives of the three states to the informal meeting of EU foreign ministers as an “expression of the EU's strong and unwavering support”.

The meeting also focused on the European Commission's decision to open the European perspective for the Associated Trio.
