Why such an article? I wish I knew! They wrote to familiarize yourself with these countries and it is like is to improve relations between the countries. In fact, the last is not affected, people really do not care, they only viewing pictures and close an article, because there is so useful information from real life. The improvement of relations between the two countries need to work, not empty words. However, I will write. So, as I am Ukrainian and I am interested in improving relations between Ukraine and Georgia not only in RL and in this game too, I have something to say, foreigners may also be interested in reading, I'll try to write it not so boring and not with very crooked English. HO-HO-HO!

Nah, i lied, i will not write about Ukraine, I do not really have the desire, you can google all what you wanna about my country in Wikipedia. I pay attention to Ukraine-Georgia relations from RL and this article will be about it. Anyway, you can find it too on Wikipedia (:
Maybe there are some foreigners will understand our overall dislike to the Russians. So, as in my opinion the friendship between Ukraine and Georgia built is on this soil — no love for northern neighbor.



18th century
A famous Georgian poet and distinguished officer David Guramishvili whose life and creative work were closely bound up with Ukraine. Guramishvili's literary work was started in Georgia, but his poetic talent become fully apparent exactly in Ukraine. Here in Ukraine he wrote a poem in one of which was full of sympathy towards peasants and had vivid Ukrainian colouring. Being one of the earliest enthusiasts of Ukrainian folklore and a staunch local patriot

The famous Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka settled in Georgia in 1913. She died soon afterwards in Tbilisi. The poems of Ukrainka and Taras Shevchenko were translated into Georgian in 1922 (most of the poems of Shevchenko were taught in the Georgian schools before and during the Soviet period).

Ukrainians and Georgians soon found themselves in the same political reality. Both countries opposed Russian domination and resisted Russification attempts by the Tsarist and later Soviet Russia.

Soviet era
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, both Georgia and Ukraine declared independence. Georgia and Ukraine accorded each other de jure recognition and established diplomatic ties, but both nations were suppressed by the Soviets in 1921 and absorbed into the Soviet Union in 1922.

In 1942, head of UON Stepan Bandera appealed to the Georgian nation to join his fight against the Soviet authorities and for national liberation, Many Georgian who was near Ukraine and had military education crossed into Ukraine and joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) against the Soviet regime. In 1943 Ukrainian Insurgent Army general Roman Shukhevych created the Georgian battalion of UPA which lasted until 1945. ost of the Georgian volunteers of UPA were killed during the Soviet offensive on Ukraine and prisoners executed after the war.

War in Abkhazia
In 1992, during the War in Abkhazia, the Ukrainian National Assembly called for volunteers to join their newly created military formation UNSO-Argo with intent to aid Georgian side against the Russian-backed Abkhaz separatists during the conflict. UNSO-Argo (named after Argonauts) with its 150 fighters were deployed to Abkhazia and stationed in Gulripshi, Shroma, Tamishi and Sukhumi. During the full scale offensive by the Russian and Abkhaz sides in August 1993 on Shroma, Ukrainians managed to repel the attack but lost seven members of their battalion. However, on September 15, 1993 the Ukrainian battalion retreated from Shroma after being outnumbered by the Kuban Cossack formations. Some of the fighters of UNSO-Argo received Georgian medals of Vakhtang Gorgasal's Order, I class.

I hope you enjoy this article. And discover for yourself a little history of relations between Ukraine and Georgia for self-knowledge. As you may have noticed, I have not posting funny pictures. It is not atmosphere for this. Georgians are not Slavs, as Ukrainian. But for Ukrainian Georgian are brother more that another Slavic nations. Ukrainian will not leave in the lurch Georgians. Hail Georgia! Hail Ukraine!
