This opinion was expressed by the head of the Executive Committee of the reform committee, former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili on the air of the television channel Mtavari Arkhi, writes Sova.

According to him, Tbilisi needs Kiev more, and not the other way around. Saakashvili emphasized that most of what people buy in Georgian stores, “for example, cereals, buckwheat, meat products, sausages, milk, is imported from Ukraine.”

“If Georgia disappears for Ukraine, it will not affect people in Ukraine. If Ukraine disappears for Georgia, it will be empty store shelves, mass hunger, misfortunes. Therefore, of course, this is not discussed, and Ukraine will not do that. ” – said the politician

At the same time, Saakashvili said that Russia was against his appointment.

“For Russia, this was a very fundamental question. What the Russian traps will say doesn’t matter. For Russia, it was a clear demonstration that Ukraine is an independent country and its president is a president worthy of an independent state. I don’t want to be a containment bone. ” But to demonstrate and remember this to Russia and the international community it is necessary, “he said.

As previously reported by UNIAN, Saakashvili previously said whether he would conflict with Interior Minister Arsen Avakov while working in his new position.

Before that, Georgia decided to withdraw its ambassador from Kiev, in response to Saakashvili’s appointment.
