All Ukrainians want Georgia to achieve “democratic success” and progress on the issue of European integration, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on his Telegram channel.
In addition, he expressed gratitude to those who held Ukrainian flags during the protests on the streets of Georgia and sang the Ukrainian anthem. “This is respect for Ukraine, and I want to express my sincere respect for Georgia,” the Ukrainian leader added.
Protests in Tbilisi continue for the second day. They began after the Georgian deputies adopted in the first reading on March 7 the draft law “On transparency of foreign influence”. The Georgian opposition believes that the adoption of this document will limit the activities of independent NGOs and the media. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili supported the protests and said she would veto the law if the parliament approves the initiative. By the evening of March 8, the building of the Georgian parliament was surrounded by more than 10 thousand protesters who broke the windows of the building and began to throw firecrackers and firecrackers into it. Later, the demonstrators were dispersed, the police used water cannons and tear gas against them.
