A rally in support of Ukraine to be held in Tbilisi today

On January 23, a rally in support of Ukraine will be held in front of the Embassy of Ukraine. Civil activists and organizations, public figures and political parties will take part in the rally together with the "Shame Movement".

The organizers of the rally address the Embassy of Ukraine in Georgia with a public letter and invite the Embassy staff to the rally.

"The current events and the growing threat of Russia's military and hybrid aggression have deeply alarmed the Georgian people. It is incredibly difficult for us to watch how over 100,000 Russian troops and military equipment are being mobilized along the borders of Ukraine. We share this tragic reality. Russian military forces are still stationed in the occupied territories of Georgia, creeping occupation, illegal abduction, arrest and killing of Georgian citizens continue. Furthermore, we do not see tangible support from official Tbilisi to the Ukrainian people, which is particularly disappointing.

As the west is united in solidarity with Ukraine, we feel a special responsibility to stand by your side during this difficult period, just as the President of Ukraine stood by the Georgian people in 2008. We greatly appreciate the unwavering support of Ukraine for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia. We would like to reiterate that support of the Ukrainian people among the Georgian people is immense.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to the support rally at the embassy of Ukraine on Sunday at 16:00 PM Tbilisi time. The Shame Movement along with civil activists and organizations, public figures and political parties will be participating in the rally. Your presence will greatly contribute to the demonstration of our genuine support to Ukraine and sending the message to the world that Georgia and Ukraine stand together for their peace, security, democracy and Euro-Atlantic future," reads the statement.
