In May 2020, after ex-Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was appointed Chairman of the Executive Reform Committee under the Ukrainian government, Georgian authorities decided to recall their ambassador.
Georgian Ambassador to Ukraine Teimuraz Sharashenidze has returned to Kyiv after a protracted break.
The move was the result of agreements reached during a phone call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Georgian counterpart Salome Zurabishvili on April 15, 2021, according to Ukraine's Foreign Ministry.
On April 21, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Vasyl Bodnar held a meeting with the Georgian ambassador, during which the sides emphasized the need to intensify further development of Ukrainian-Georgian relations, interaction in bilateral and multilateral dimensions to strengthen security in the region.
