"It is also coordinated with Ukrainian citizens through tourist information centers.
"A state program has been developed for the citizens of Ukraine who visited Georgia from February 1 to February 23 and Georgia provides them with hotel services and food, examines their medical needs and together with the City Hall and health agencies these needs will be identified, registered and addressed," said Tinatin Zoidze. .
As for the refugees, according to Tinatin Zoidze, about 300 calls were received to the Adjara hotline after the war.
