The Georgian Government has sent 25 high-power generators to Ukraine by order of the Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, the Economy Ministry has announced, noting the Government continues to “actively” support Ukrainian people.
The generators, with a total value of GEL 1.5 million (about $565,000), were purchased by the Georgian State Electrosystem operating under the Ministry of Economy, the ministry said, adding the generators would be used for hospitals, catering and other essential facilities working in the emergency mode.
The process of loading the generators for the shipment was attended by Romeo Mikautadze, the Deputy Economy Minister and Andrey Kasyanov, the Temporarily Representative of the Embassy of Ukraine in Georgia, with the latter expressing his “personal gratitude” to the Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili for his decision to purchase the generators for Ukraine.
“I would like to thank all the members of the Georgian Government for the prompt implementation of this decision, as all 25 generators will be sent to Ukraine today. And thank all Georgians for the very strong and essential support of Ukraine, and my people in this very critical period”, Kasyanov noted.
The Government and the Georgian people “have been sparing no efforts” to provide assistance to the Ukrainian people from the “very first day” of the beginning of hostilities in the country, Mikautadze said, expressing hope the generators, sent from Georgia to Ukraine, would “alleviate” the problems of the Ukrainian people “at least a little”.
