If I were in Ukraine now, I would be next to President Zelensky. The third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, stated this in an interview with "Ukrainskaya Pravda".
The publication asked Saakashvili what he would have done if he had not left Ukraine for Georgia and had been in Kyiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
"First of all, I would be next to President Zelensky, whom I consider to be the most outstanding statesman since Churchill. Compared to him, Reagan and Thatcher smoke nervously on the sidelines. At the same time, I would travel the world to use my many connections to mobilize aid for Ukraine.
Also, I would constantly walk on the front line, helping Ukrainian and Georgian fighters. Recently, Georgian fighters recorded a collective address in which they congratulated me on my birthday, but I never forget the fact that 35 of them have already died in the war, including seven on the Bakhmut front. And many of my Ukrainian friends died and were wounded...
I myself feel 100% Ukrainian and I have never been so proud of it," said Saakashvili.
