"Our task is to end the war in Ukraine in time and prevent it from happening in Georgia," said Georgia's third president Mikheil Saakashvili. He answered this question at his own trial, which is currently taking place at Tbilisi City Court.
Mikheil Saakashvili has responded to accusations by Georgian Dream coalition that the opposition is happy with the war in Ukraine.
"Some people say that we are happy, and I am happy about the war in Ukraine. I want to address the idiots who are saying this. Unlike you, I did not buy anything in Georgia except for a small vineyard in Kvareli, I built a nice house in Kyiv for the first time in my life, decorated it tastefully, it is my house, how can I be happy, when Russian soldiers, sleep in my and moved into my house.
How can anyone be happy about this war, especially me, how can I be happy about the war in Georgia, but when you choose between honor and war and choose dishonor, you will get both dishonor and war" - said Mikheil Saakashvili.
He said the fact that he was captured in Georgia increases the likelihood of a Russian attack on Georgia, because before Zelensky, he was Putin's number one enemy in the region.
"How can I be happy about a war when the first thing that gets bombed in the Odessa region, for example, are the roads that I built, roads built with love that connects Ukraine to the EU," he said.
