Ukrainian officer of the guard of honor dropped the scabbard while greeting the President of Georgia
Today the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili is paying a visit to the Ukrainian capital. This is the first official visit of a Georgian president to Ukraine in a decade and a half. According to both Kiev and Tbilisi, one of the main issues for discussion is the "synchronization of watches" on the accession of both countries to the European Union and NATO. Zelenskiy, as Ukrainian political scientists previously reported, intends to raise the issue of why neither Georgia nor Ukraine has been provided with the MAP - an action plan for NATO membership. The alliance itself has not yet answered this question to the President of Ukraine, only once again declaring its "all-round support."
During the solemn ceremony of welcoming the President of Georgia, there was an incident. This incident was connected with the officer of the guard of honor.
A soldier of the guard of honor, greeting the leaders of the two countries, approached the politicians, holding a saber in his raised right hand, and holding the scabbard with his left.
As soon as the officer was in front of Salome Zurabishvili, a soldier of the Ukrainian guard dropped the scabbard from his hand, and they were on the ground. The soldier began to raise the scabbard, continuing to hold a saber in his hand, after which he turned to the President of Georgia. Zelensky, watching what was happening, smiled ...
Earlier, servicemen of the Ukrainian company of the guard of honor dropped carbines at crucial moments, one even fainted during the inauguration of Petro Poroshenko.
Returning to the topic of Zurabishvili's visit to Kiev, it is necessary to quote the words of the President of Georgia:
Our primary task, like that of Ukraine, is de-occupation. Our common goal is the Euro-Atlantic path.
Zelensky, picking up on Zurabishvili's words, said that the Black Sea should become a "safe water area." And at about this moment the British destroyer violated the maritime borders of Russia in the area of Cape Fiolent.
