“I came to the President of Ukraine. We have known each other for a long time. He accepted me … I say:” Do you like fights without rules? You come to Georgia, I will go around all Georgia with you and show you where our journalists and oppositionists are beaten without rules. Moreover, these are massive fights. This has been going on for two years … They are doing so much nasty things for their country. In general, I have a feeling that they do not like their homeland, “he said.
According to Kikabidze, what was demonstrated at video with Saakashvili, – “that’s 5% of what’s going on there.”
“He’s an unusual guy. I don’t know how much he is known here, in Ukraine. He is a builder. He has remade almost all cities, they have become more beautiful. But who does not have mistakes? Everyone has mistakes. I told Zelensky that he needs transfer to a clinic, “Kikabidze said.
He recalled that Saakashvili has been on hunger strike for over 40 days.
“I saw a starving man who had been starving for seven days and was already being carried on a stretcher. [Саакашвили] refused to doctors, did not take vitamins. He, you see, is a strong man in himself. I’m talking [президенту Украины]: “Take it away.” For this time it is necessary … The country, whenever it wants, intervenes and takes its own … He is a citizen of Ukraine, he is also our citizen. And when you pick it up, you’ll figure it out between yourself – whether he should stay here or leave, whether you like him or not – this is not what the conversation is about. The conversation that while this all happens, he can be removed there. Because there is a person who dreams of seeing him in a coffin, “he said.

“All Georgia stood on its feet, they were offended by this. This bunch of leading people who rule the country today do not ask anyone about anything. They do everything themselves. On the third or fifth day we learn that someone was imprisoned, someone then they killed … In a day, there are murders in Georgia. I tell all my acquaintances: “Don’t come yet.” Because there are no people who would care about the peace of the country. orders from Putin. Everyone already knows about this. What he says in their ear, they then voice. And Putin wants the country to collapse, “- said the artist.
