Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has emphasized the need for humanitarian assistance for the People of Ukraine.
"The support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people was unprecedented. It is necessary to continue this humanitarian process, to continue the humanitarian assistance and to express our solidarity in this way," - Garibashvili told journalists.
The head of government noted that the life of every citizen is precious:
"Of course, I join the call of world leaders for their citizens and I want to say once again that every citizen's life is very precious to me and to all of us. Therefore, we can once again express our solidarity; whole Georgia, the population, the Georgian people express their solidarity. I do not want to repeat that we have sent hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid. It is necessary to continue this humanitarian process, to continue humanitarian assistance and to express our solidarity in this way."
The U.S. Department of State encourages US citizens to help Ukraine in “constructive” ways through humanitarian assistance and other means.
“US citizens who travel to Ukraine especially with the purpose of participating and fighting there, they face significant risks, including the very real risk of capture or death. The United States, as you know, is not able to provide assistance to evacuate US citizens from Ukraine, including those Americans who may decide to travel to Ukraine to participate in the ongoing war. We continue to urge US citizens not to travel to Ukraine for their safety regardless of the underlying purpose, we continue to encourage them to diver their energies towards safe, constructive, volunteer or civil society activities,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said during a briefing on March 12.
