Georgian Prime Minister calls Ukraine's demands regretful

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has described as "incomprehensible and regretful" the statement by the leader of the Ukraine’s ruling Servant of the People faction Davyd Arakhamiia, who warned that if Georgia wanted to improve relations with Ukraine, it should "return Saakashvili to us and stop direct flights with Russia".

According to Kommersant, the Georgian prime minister said that this statement by Arakhamiia "strengthens the belief that something is not going the way it should go".

The Georgian prime minister immediately listed the steps that Georgia is taking to help and in solidarity with Ukraine.

"Supporting more than six hundred acts, resolutions and other decisions in favor of Ukraine" and "very broad humanitarian assistance". The prime minister immediately emphasized that Ukraine, in his opinion, "is in a very difficult situation, the Ukrainian people are in a state of war," so "we do not intend to enter into polemics with Arakhamiia," Kobakhidze noted.

A day earlier, the Georgian government accused Ukraine of "unfriendliness" over its refusal to extradite former Georgian officials convicted of official crimes, including former Prosecutor-General Zurab Adeishvili.
