I will be dangerous to you both in prison and dead. You cannot kill the idea of ​​freedom of Georgia, the soul of Saakashvili! I am fighting and we will win! - the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, said from the Vivamedi clinic, while attending the court session remotely, responding to the decision made against him in the case of illegal border crossing.

As Saakashvili noted, in addition to the fact that this decision punishes him, they also threaten Ukrainian President Zelensky.

"I want to respond to the series of the illegal, shameful decisions that Ivanishvili's Russian "injustice factory" made and practically sentenced me to destruction in prison, physical destruction. They are destroying and annihilating a person who wanted everything for Georgia and wanted everything for the people, for Georgia, for Ukraine. Whoever still believes that I am being sentenced to life imprisonment for sending a few sheep to our Azerbaijani compatriots for a holiday, or for buying three jackets, a tie, and a coat, or for crossing the border when they left me no way to enter Georgia legally, of course, I cannot explain anything to these people. I think there is no one like that in the world. Our philosophy has always been a strong Georgia, strong citizens, education, and security. That is why we developed cities. If we had been let do more, Georgia would have been a much better country. This is practically destruction, in a seemingly judicial manner, in order to intimidate the Georgian people and all my supporters. By doing this, they are trying to send a threatening message to President Zelensky, telling him that the same fate awaits him if he does not surrender. I am being particularly cynically punished and destroyed for not giving up the country in 2008, all for this! I am being punished for returning Adjara to Georgian jurisdiction in 2004! For daring and being able to form Georgia into a successful state! For defeating corruption! For fighting for the people, not for my own pockets! I am dangerous to them in prison and I will be dangerous even dead, because my name is forever associated with the struggle for freedom and goodness. We are fighting and we must fight, fight, there is no other way out. The other way out is to lose our country. We are fighting and we will win! This is the only way out.

I repeat, I will be dangerous for you both in prison and dead, because my name is associated with the struggle for freedom, victory and the success of Georgia! This will last for centuries. Look, destroy me as much as you want, you cannot kill the idea of ​​freedom of Georgia! You cannot kill Saakashvili's soul! Good luck, my friends! This retribution has its authors and they must receive, first of all, a strict response from the Georgian people. I am fighting and we will win! "- said Saakashvili.
