Rally in support of Ukraine underway in front of the Parliament

A rally in support of Ukraine is being held in front of the Georgian Parliament.

Citizens, as well as civil activists and politicians joined the rally.

Protesters carry Georgian and Ukrainian flags. In addition, they hold pro-Ukrainian banners and chant slogans in support of the Ukrainian people.

One of the protesters, Giorgi Kakulia, while talking to InterPressNews, asked the Georgian government to organize the departure of those wishing to leave for Ukraine to volunteer.

"I was born in Ukraine. I have not lived there for a long time, but it is my homeland. I believe that every man should protect his land and that is why I want to go to Ukraine. Georgia and Ukraine have a common enemy - this is Russia's policy and aggression. Russia is in Ukraine now, but it will come to Georgia soon," said Giorgi Kakulia.

The traffic on Rustaveli Avenue near the Parliament is blocked.
