Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili says that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has offered to create a joint strategy with Georgia on how to combat Russian occupation and help both countries become members of the EU.

The presidents met in Warsaw, Poland, where world leaders were gathering to commemorate 80 years since the beginning of World War II.

Zelensky not only invited me to Ukraine, but also offered to work on a joint document which will help us resolve conflicts and take genuine steps towards the EU,” Zurabishvili said.

Charles Michel has shown a high interest in the occupation issue. The questions regarding the occupation, interest and readiness to support us are very important for me. The Georgian occupation issue remains high on the agenda of the international community. We must jointly take steps to end the continued provocations by the occupying force,” Zurabishvili said.
