KYIV, Ukraine, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko
responded again to the Georgian crisis on Wednesday, stating, "We stand in
solidarity with the democratically-elected leadership of Georgia. Georgia's
sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected." Earlier on
Tuesday, Tymoshenko sent Vice Prime Minister Hryhoriy Nemyria as a Special
Envoy to Tbilisi. "Actions speak louder than words," said Nemyria from
Tbilisi, "so it is important to be on the ground, lending our first-hand
support to the government of Georgia. This crisis has clear implications
for regional security, and of course, for Ukraine." Nemyria, responsible
for European and International Integration, explained, "This crisis makes
crystal clear that the security vacuums that have existed in the
post-Soviet space remain dangerous. Because it is the largest country in
the region after Russia, and because it shares such a long border with the
European Union, Ukraine remains at risk in this type of vacuum." While in
Georgia, Nemyria was scheduled to meet with Georgian officials, as well as
other international envoys that had arrived in Tbilisi.
