Georgian Prime Minister candidate accuses Ukraine of seeking to open a ‘second front’ in his country

Kobakhidze accused Ukraine of attempting to make Georgia a target of Russian aggression beyond its borders. “When someone tries to make Georgia an object of Russian aggression outside the country, it’s a very serious event, and it causes great concern,” Kobakhidze stated.

He also accused the Ukrainian government of supposedly wanting to open a second front in Georgia.

“This once again confirms what Ukrainian government officials have openly talked about — that they wanted, and probably still want, a second front in our country,” he added.

The “facts” discovered by the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) are “another confirmation of all this,” Kobakhidze claimed.

On Feb. 5, the SSSG announced that it had detained a cargo with six explosive devices being transported from Odesa.

Some of them were intended for delivery to Voronezh, Russia. The explosives were allegedly transported through Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey in a minibus belonging to a Ukrainian citizen.

According to SSSG, the case involves seven Georgians, three Ukrainians and two Armenians.

It is claimed that the total weight of the explosives is 14 kilograms. They were installed in car batteries and filled with military-grade C-4 explosives.

According to the service, all six devices were made by a professional and “designed for a wide range of destruction.”
