Georgian Defence Minister Irakli Garibashvili has stated that starting from January 2020 wounded or injured Georgian soldiers will receive monthly salary supplements between 200-800 GEL [$69-274] based on their physical condition. 

Caring about our soldiers, who sacrifice their health and life to our welfare, is our obligation,” Garibashvili has stated earlier today. 

A couple of days ago Garibashvili stated that the government is going to build a 'military town' on Makhata Mountain in central Tbilisi where military personnel will be offered affordable housing.
