This is a great tragedy, and I bow to all the victims," Mikheil Saakashvili reacted to the Bucha tragedy in court today. The third president spoke about the threats facing Georgia:
"I want to tell you that Ukraine has been preparing for victory all this time, and we are preparing for capitulation, we are preparing for capitulation with the slogan - You dont want war do you?
I want to tell those who eat this slogan - friends, war and disaster will start after they surrender us.
I saved Tbilisi from this tragedy in 2008 because the whole world was behind us.
Bucha was surrendered in the sense that it was occupied. People who were beaten, killed, strangled, these people had no desire to resist from the very beginning, these people were just killed, because when the occupant comes, then they start butchering and then they start massacre.
Let's understand what the main danger is, that if they surrender Georgia, the Russians who enter Tbilisi, who hate us, will go after the population, then they will kill people, then they will seize our property, then they will destroy the Georgian nation.
The people who are talking about surrender and capitulation are people who are preparing us for a very big bloodbath, so it's important for us to be aware of all this. We are not a nation of traitors, we are a militant and prideful nation, and we have proved that many times, including in 2008, when we saved Georgia," said Mikheil Saakashvili.
