Prime Minister Accuses President Zelenskyy and Leaders of Ukraine of 'Direct Intervention' in Georgian Internal Politics
Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili was asked about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's video addressing people at the March 7-8 protests. In response, Gharibashvili accused the President of Ukraine of being motivated for something to happen in Georgia.
"You mentioned Zelensky's video address - now when a person who is at war leaves and responds to the destructive protest of several thousand people here in Georgia, this is direct evidence that this person is involved, motivated to make something happen here, to change," Prime Minister said.
Gharibashvili accused Ukrainian politicians of direct intervention in internal politics and asked leaders of Ukraine to "take care of their own country first".
"In Ukraine, let me tell you in a few words that the situation is very difficult, further escalation is expected, and Ukraine is also preparing some counter-attacks, according to our information. There will probably be very difficult battles in the Donetsk region as a whole, and after the capture of Bakhmut, it will probably become even more difficult and will escalate.
You mentioned Ukrainian politicians, I don't want to list names anymore. Klitschko came out, some incomprehensible people came out, others, Ukrainian politicians, Arakhamia and some sleazy 'losers' came out, who say that there is a need for change and scenarios, a coup. It is a direct intervention. I don't want to continue now, man is at war. I want to wish everyone a timely end to this war and peace, success and reunification of the country. But first, take care of yourself and your own country, we will take care of our country," said the Prime Minister.
Polish Authorities Express Readiness to Send Doctors to Tbilisi to Treat Mikheil Saakashvili
Polish government representative Piotr Müller said that Polish doctors are ready to visit Georgia and conduct examinations on the third president, Mikheil Saakashvili.
Müller said that Poland is still waiting for formal consent from Georgia and said that Saakashvili's medical services "cause serious concern of the international community."
"We are ready to send a medical mission to Georgia. We hope that an agreement will be reached on this. If the Georgian government has no excuse to criticize itself in this direction, then I do not see a problem [in sending a medical mission]. This is not only a call of Poland but also of the European parliamentarians," said Müller.
