The attacker posted a video with his provocation on social networks, but after a while his account disappeared.
An unidentified person pulled the Ukrainian flag from the flagpole in the central park of Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. The Embassy of Ukraine will ask to investigate the incident. It is reported Georgia Online with a link to a video distributed by the Mtavari TV channel.
The media added that the person who pulled the flag himself shared the video on social networks, but now his account is unavailable. Mtavari added that it was a supporter of a pro-Russian organization conservative movement And Alt-Info.
Ukraine’s Chargé d’Affaires in Georgia Andriy Kasyanov called the incident unacceptable and expressed hope that the incident would be investigated and the perpetrators punished in accordance with Georgian law.
It should be noted that since January 2022, a law came into effect in Georgia, which provides a fine of 1,000 GEL for insulting the flag or state emblem established by the state institution, with which Georgia has diplomatic relations.
Opposition party leader Lelo Mamuka Khazaradze said the removal of the flag was a provocation against the brotherhood of Georgian and Ukrainian citizens. He believes that the Alt-Info and his ideology should be banned in Georgia.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia has not yet given comments on this matter.
The man himself posted a video with his “feat” on social networks
Recall that the Berlin administrative court lifted the ban on placing Ukrainian flags at the site of Soviet memorials in the districts of Treptow, Tiergarten and Schoenholzer Heide.
On May 8 and 9, Berlin police banned the flags of Ukraine and Russia from being hung near Soviet monuments on May 8 and 9, as well as the music of the march.
