Georgia's third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, responds to a statement by Georgian Dream Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze and says that the dismissal of Georgians in power in Ukraine is a Russian order.
"The dry fact is that the Dream demands the dismissal of all the Georgians who hold positions in Ukraine.
Among these Georgians are David Arakhamia - the country's chief negotiator, General Lortkipanidze - the deputy head of counterintelligence, whose main function is to catch Russian spies (for example, yesterday he arrested an official in the presidential administration who was providing the Russians with information), Zurab Adeishvili, who is the chief coordinator who reports on the crimes committed and submits them to The Hague Tribunal. I also remain the chairman of the Council of Reforms, although I am imprisoned by Putin here. Now everyone has to wonder if this request is a direct order from Russia!" - Mikheil Saakashvili writes.
