The humanitarian aid, which was collected in municipalities of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti and Guria, was finally gathered in Georgia’s port city of Poti and will be dispatched to Ukraine by Georgian Post.
Moreover, the procedure to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine during their tough time was coordinated by Nino Vibliani, the First Deputy State Representative of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region.
