The Embassy of Ukraine has issued a commentary on a statement by the State Security Service of Georgia about Ukraine's alleged attempt to transport explosive devices and explosives to Russia through the territory of Georgia.

"The Embassy of Ukraine is checking the information that was made public at a press briefing by the State Security Service of Georgia, clarifying all circumstances, in particular regarding the reported involvement of Ukrainian citizens in the illegal activities," it said on Tuesday.

The embassy also expressed hope that the Georgia side would refrain from politicizing the case.

"We express our interest in and readiness for effective cooperation with law enforcers and other competent agencies of Georgia with the aim of fair, unbiased and comprehensive investigation into all circumstances of the case, as well as identifying its real organizers," it said.

As reported, on February 5, the State Security Service of Georgia announced the seizure of cargo containing six explosive devices on the way from Odesa. Part of it was allegedly supposed to be delivered to Voronezh. The explosives were allegedly carried through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey by a minibus owned by a Ukrainian citizen. According to the Georgian investigation, the defendants in the case include seven Georgians, three Ukrainians, and two Armenians.
