According to Reuters on February 5, the Georgian Bureau said on the 5th that they had seized a batch of secretly transported items. The shipment departed from the Ukrainian port city of Odessa and was to be delivered to the Russian city of Voronezh.
According to the report, the South Caucasus country's domestic security agency said that the ** batch was hidden in the cargo of car batteries. The shipment departed from Ukraine in January this year and entered Georgia by land through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, before being seized at the Georgian-Russian border.
In a statement, the Georgian Bureau said the shipment had arrived in Georgia in a Ukrainian-owned minivan and was destined for Voronezh. The Russian city is located about 180 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

Ukraine did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to the report, since the outbreak of the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, Georgia** has expressed its opposition to Russia's attack on Ukraine and wants to ensure that the war does not spread to its territory, but faces accusations that it "acquiesces" to pro-Russian behavior.
