“On October 31 the next elections to the Georgian parliament will take place. About 30 People’s Deputies of Ukraine from three factions have planned a visit to the country to be observers during the voting. The trip was to take place at the invitation of UNM, the leading opposition party. However, tonight the Georgian authorities canceled the permission to receive the plane from Ukraine”, – Yasko wrote on Facebook.
Yasko stressed that despite everything, Ukrainians support the Georgian people and democracy in this wonderful country, and Ukraine is ready to work with the democratically elected future parliament of Georgia, regardless of the configuration of the majority and the name of the prime minister.
