The situation regarding the desecration of the Ukrainian symbols is absolutely unacceptable, - said Ukraine's Charge d'Affaires Andrii Kasianov, responding to the information that the Ukrainian flag was taken down in the Vake Park, Interpressnews reports.
According to him, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has been informed about the desecration of Ukrainian symbols, and cooperation is underway with Georgian law enforcement agencies to bring the perpetrator to justice.
"We have informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and also, in cooperation with the law enforcement agencies, we will try to ensure that the perpetrator is brought to justice. There will definitely be an official reaction", said Kasianov.
Kasianov laid a wreath at the monument of the heroes fighting for the freedom of Georgia and Ukraine today.
He noted that since April last year, everything is being done to immortalize the name of Ukrainian and Georgian heroes in the park of Ukrainian and Georgian heroes.
"You know very well that since April last year, we have been making every effort to properly appreciate the heroism of Georgian and Ukrainian soldiers. Since April last year, we have been appealing to the City Council and other relevant bodies to immortalize the names of Georgian and Ukrainian heroes, and we are grateful that we were able to honor the memory of our heroes through a private initiative, who now protect not only Ukraine, but the whole of Europe. We are proud of the fact that brave Georgians are fighting alongside the armed forces of Ukraine. I hope that this initiative, this park and this monument will give an incentive to the local government, that one day there will be a street of Ukrainian and Georgian heroes here," said Kasianov.
