The ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party and the parliamentary opposition failed to reach an agreement on a common resolution in support of Ukraine amid the Russian military buildup at its border, sparking mutual criticism over the proposed document from the sides.

On Wednesday, the opposition rejected a proposed document of the resolution, prepared by MPs from the ruling party and scheduled to be submitted to the parliament on the first day of the spring session, citing no specific mention of Russian aggression in the document.

The rejection has drawn criticism from GD members, with parliament speaker Shalva Papuashvili claiming the “main essence” of the resolution was reflected in the document and alleging “the opposition sees its own agenda in such resolutions.” It would be “appropriate to reach wide consensus for such resolutions on security or international issues”, Papuashvili added.
