The Georgian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the killings of civilians in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, near Kyiv.
The ministry tweeted: “We are devastated by the scenes of brutal atrocities. All those involved in these war crimes must bear responsibility!”
President Salome Zourabichvili said the “Bucha massacre” was a “crime against humanity”.
The Georgian government has been under fire from the opposition for its lukewarm support for Ukraine.
The government has repeatedly voiced support for Ukraine but refused to join sanctions against Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recalled Ukraine’s ambassadors to Georgia last week, saying: “with all due respect, if there won’t be weapons, won’t be sanctioned, won’t be restrictions for Russian business, then please look for other work”.
