Mikheil Saakashvili refuses to transfer "Buk" systems to Ukraine from the side of Georgia. According to him, "this is treason and episodes of such treason will remain a heavy stain in the history of Georgia-Ukraine relations".
"It's a shame to refuse to give Buksystems to Ukraine!
With the help of President Yushchenko, we bought them at the minimum price at the time. When Yanukovych came to Ukraine, they even opened a case against Yushchenko for handing over the book to Georgia, and they did it at the behest of Russia. Moreover, the instructor - Colonel Mamchur, who taught us how to use the Buk, was killed by Russian agents in Rovno in 2017.
Now the Americans have given Ukraine a large number of missiles for Buk. Most importantly, with this step, we refused not only the Ukrainians, but also the Americans, to lend their javelins to Ukraine.
This is treason, and episodes of such treason will remain a heavy stain in the history of Georgia-Ukraine relations," writes Mikheil Saakashvili.
