The statements made by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Head of the Ukrainian President's Office, that Georgian officials should change their tone, and if they cannot do it for some reason, then shrink their public statements about Ukraine. Both Mikheil Sarveladze, a lawmaker, and Juansher Burchuladze, the minister of defence for Georgia, responded to this assertion.
In Juansher Burchuladze's opinion, the narrative put forth by the Ukrainian government toward the Georgian administration is false. The Minister stated, "The Georgian government has made numerous attempts to improve ties with its colleagues in Ukraine."
Additionally, Mykhailo Podolyak was criticised for making unfounded claims against Georgian authorities by Mikheil Sarjveladze , the head of the Georgian Parliament's Committee on Human Rights. The representative of the Georgian Parliament emphasised in his reaction that Podolyak's speech amounted to making the most severe accusations in addition to insulting the Georgian authorities. "No one has the authority to make unfounded allegations in such a tone, least of all a high official of a war-torn nation. If there is anyone who needs to be careful about the tone and content of their statements, it is Mr. Podolyak," Sarjveladze said.
Mykhailo Podolyak claimed in his statement that Bidzina Ivanishvili, the former prime minister and founder of the Georgian Dream, should be subject to sanctions. "There were wealthy individuals, or oligarchs, in both Georgia and Ukraine. They support political parties, occupy parliamentary seats, and participate in politics. We are trying to bring this process to an end, and Georgia should also do the same. " According to the Ukrainian Presidential Adviser, deoligarchization is a successful strategy, and he has no doubt that the Georgian nation will follow this course.
