Kyiv also responded to the Georgian prime minister's accusations that the law should protect the country from possible "Ukrainization.

The comments of the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, regarding the threat of "Ukrainization" that the draft law is supposedly aimed at countering are outrageous. The use of our country's name in such a derogatory context causes additional damage to Ukrainian-Georgian relations. Russification, not mythical "Ukrainization," is a real threat to Georgia

- the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine emphasizes.

The Foreign Ministry emphasizes that Ukraine is interested in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere in Georgia, has always strongly supported and continues to support Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.

Context

The country's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that the law on "foreign agents" aims to protect Georgia from "Ukrainization", strengthen sovereignty and ensure the country's stable development.
