The Government is selling our motherland and soldiers, the leader of the National Movement, Nika Melia, responded to the TV story aired on the Main Channel, according to which, the occupation regime allegedly has full access to the data on the Georgian soldier fighting in Ukraine, Mikheil Kamkhadze.­

As Nika Melia said at the briefing, "this is a systemic treason”.

"In the days of the August war, when we mourn and honor our heroes, whose self-sacrifice has brought us to this day and saved us from the domination by Russia, the Government wants a part of society not to honor the heroes, but to mourn the independence and statehood of the country to which these heroes sacrificed their lives. The Government is selling our motherland and our soldiers. This is no longer an allegation, this is a fact. We saw yesterday how the Government provides personal files of Georgian soldiers to Russia, against whom they fought here in 2008 and are now fighting in Ukraine”, he said.

According to him, this most serious fact shows that there are strong Russian influences in the Ministry of Defence of Georgia, through which any detailed information can be obtained by occupiers on every citizen of Georgia and their family members.

“This is not individual betrayal, this is systemic treason”, he said.

The Main Channel reported that the personal case of a Georgian officer was obtained by the Russian special services. According to the TV company, the occupation regime has full access to Mikheil Kamkhadze's data, which should have been kept in the Ministry of Defence.
