Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that Georgia wants to join the upcoming victory over Russia, although at the beginning of the war it ignored calls for a joint fight.

Danilov said this on the air of the United News telethon, commenting on Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili's statement in an interview with Bloomberg that "the future diplomatic settlement of the Russian war against Ukraine should include the issue of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia."

"Today I heard a statement from the president of Georgia, who believes that when we sign some peace agreements with Russia, we should include Abkhazia, a part of Georgia that the Russian Federation occupied in 2008," the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine said.

According to him, "at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he called on Georgia to help and fight together against the aggressor country. However, then Georgia, represented by the same persons, kept silent," reports TSN.
