Ukraine Expresses Deep Concern Over Draft Law and Prime Minister's Statements in Georgia

烏克蘭對格魯吉亞法律草案和總理聲明表示深切關注

Kyiv, April 17, 2024 - The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a strongly worded statement expressing deep concern over the deteriorating internal political situation in Georgia and the passage of a controversial draft law on "Transparency of Foreign Influence" in the Georgian Parliament.

基輔，2024 年 4 月 17 日 - 烏克蘭外交部發表了一份措辭強硬的聲明，對格魯吉亞國內政治局勢不斷惡化以及格魯吉亞議會通過一項有爭議的“外國影響透明度”法律草案表示深切關注。

The statement underscores Ukraine's unwavering commitment to respecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, emphasizing that peaceful protest and constructive dialogue are essential for a nation's European future. The Ministry implores all parties to engage in meaningful discussions that address the concerns of Georgian citizens.

聲明強調烏克蘭堅定不移地致力於尊重公民的權利和自由，並強調和平抗議和建設性對話對於一個國家的歐洲未來至關重要。該部懇請各方進行有意義的討論，以解決格魯吉亞公民的關切。

Equally concerning to Kyiv are the statements of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who labeled the draft law as a safeguard against the threat of "Ukrainization." The Ministry vehemently denounced Kobakhidze's remarks, stating that the use of Ukraine's name in such a derogatory context is both offensive and damaging to bilateral relations.

同樣令基輔擔憂的是格魯吉亞總理伊拉克利·科巴希澤的聲明，他將該法律草案稱為針對「烏克蘭化」威脅的保障措施。外交部強烈譴責科巴希澤的言論，稱在這種貶義的情況下使用烏克蘭的名字既是一種冒犯，也是對雙邊關係的損害。

The statement asserts that Russification, not the mythical concept of "Ukrainization," poses a genuine threat to Georgia. Ukraine, it emphasizes, firmly supports Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders and desires a peaceful and cooperative relationship between the two nations.

聲明聲稱，對喬治亞構成真正威脅的是俄羅斯化，而不是神話般的「烏克蘭化」概念。它強調，烏克蘭堅定支持喬治亞在國際公認邊界內的主權和領土完整，並希望兩國之間建立和平與合作關係。

The Ministry's statement comes amidst widespread protests in Georgia against the draft law, which has drawn criticism for its perceived curtailment of civil liberties and potential to stifle dissent. President Salome Zurabishvili has indicated that she will veto the law if it passes the parliament, citing the need to preserve the voices of the people.

該部的聲明是在格魯吉亞針對該法律草案提出廣泛抗議之際發表的，該草案因被視為限制公民自由和可能壓制異議而受到批評。薩洛梅·祖拉比什維利總統表示，如果法案在議會獲得通過，她將否決該法案，理由是需要保護人民的聲音。

Background:

背景：

• Prime Minister Kobakhidze has defended the draft law as a means to protect Georgia from foreign influence and ensure its stability.
• Despite the government's assurances, the law has sparked fears that it could be used to target political opponents and civil society organizations.

總理科巴希澤為該法律草案辯護，認為這是保護格魯吉亞免受外國影響並確保其穩定的一種手段。被用來針對政治對手和民間社會組織。對話和尊重人權的重要性。它進一步強調了烏克蘭在反擊俄羅斯侵略方面的經驗，強調了打擊虛假資訊和外部干涉的必要性。

The Georgian Parliament's passage of the draft law in its first reading has escalated tensions in the country, with both domestic and international observers expressing concerns over its potential impact on Georgia's democratic institutions and relations with its neighbors. The upcoming vote on the law is expected to be closely watched, with significant implications for Georgia's political landscape and its path toward European integration.

格魯吉亞議會一讀通過的法律草案加劇了該國的緊張局勢，國內和國際觀察家都對其對格魯吉亞民主機構以及與鄰國關係的潛在影響表示擔憂。即將舉行的法律投票預計將受到密切關注，這將對格魯吉亞的政治格局及其歐洲一體化之路產生重大影響。
