We very much hope that, ultimately, decisions will be made in accordance with the interests of the Ukrainian people—something that has not been the case thus far. In reality, the situation has been brought to a very dire point for the Ukrainian people- Irakli Kobakhidze

"We very much hope that, ultimately, decisions will be made in accordance with the interests of the Ukrainian people—something that has not been the case thus far. In reality, the situation has been brought to a very dire point for the Ukrainian people," Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated in response to a journalist's question regarding a statement made by Kaja Kallas concerning Ukraine.

The Head of Government expressed hope that the interests of the Ukrainian people would, at the very least, be taken into account during the ongoing negotiation process. "In principle, we cannot intervene in this; the European Union and the USA must resolve this among themselves. Of course, the most important aspect here is taking into account the interests of the Ukrainian people, as well as the principles of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We strongly hope that, ultimately, decisions will be made in line with the interests of the Ukrainian people—something that has not been the case thus far. In reality, the situation has been brought to a point that is extremely dire for the Ukrainian people. It should have been perfectly clear to everyone what the consequences of certain developments—for instance, those in 2013 and thereafter—would be. It was possible to prevent both the first and the second war in Ukraine; however, certain forces did the exact opposite—they did everything in their power to ensure this war took place and that Russia invaded Ukraine. What has happened is deeply regrettable. No one took the interests of the Ukrainian people into account. Hopefully, now—at least during this negotiation process—the interests of the Ukrainian people will be considered," the Prime Minister stated.
