Kyiv hadn’t had an ambassador in Tbilisi for nearly four years.

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Tymoshenko has close ties to former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who headed the UNM.

The Ukrainian port city of Mariupol has been occupied by Russia since a destructive battle that killed tens of thousands of civilians in 2022.

Georgia’s ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili requested he be included in the list of civilian prisoners of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha dismissed the accusations, saying only Georgia is to blame for its own failings at the accession process.

In his speech at the UN General Assembly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi also said ‘Georgia is depend[ent] on Russia’.

Georgian Dream officials have been escalating their rhetoric against Ukraine in recent days.
