Georgian opposition MPs have called on their ruling Georgian Dream colleagues and the Government to take a united stance in support of Kyiv as the threat of Russian invasion looms in Ukraine.

In a joint press briefing today, the United National Movement, Lelo and Strategy Aghmashenebeli lawmakers offered the Georgian Dream to begin parliamentary talks to pen a multipartisan resolution backing Ukraine.

The opposition deputies also urged Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili to summon an extended session of the National Security Council with the participation of the opposition to examine the risks the continued Russian military build-up and possible invasion of Ukraine pose to Georgia.

The opposition, which claims the Government is appeasing Moscow, argued that taking a common stance in support of the fellow NATO membership aspiring country is the only correct way to go forward.
