In the Q&A session at the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robin Dunnigan stated that Georgians had sent some critical energy equipment to help repair the energy grid Russia damaged when they started targeting civilian infrastructure.

“They welcomed thousands of Ukrainian refugees into Georgia, and they also welcomed many Russian dissidents, activists, and journalists who fled Russia during the war.

Unfortunately, Georgia knows all too well the threats Ukraine is experiencing since Russia has occupied Georgia since 2008, and if I am confirmed, I will continue to work closely with the Georgian government and support their own sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and help hold Russia accountable to its commitments under the 2008 ceasefire agreement and under the UN Charter in the same way we are trying to do with Russia in relation to Ukraine,” - Robin Dunnigan stated.
