Georgia's territorial integrity must be preserved, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said.
"I, as prime minister, the Ukrainian government and the political force I head, support Georgia's integrity absolutely. All decisions being made contrary to this position will absolutely not be supported," Tymoshenko said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.
"Georgia's integrity is a sacred issue for both Georgia and Ukraine. We think therefore that the peace policy must be shaped precisely in a way that will protect the territorial integrity of states from all illegal encroachments," she said.
"My position is that we must restore peace and tranquility, and not bring grist to the mill of confrontation. If we don't change the position on Crimea, if we don't harmonize relations with the Black Sea Fleet, we will be in for very serious problems," Tymoshenko said.
