After 17 years, we have been fighting an uncompromising battle with the real Russian government - in honor of the memory of these fighters, for the souls of these fighters, we are obliged to fight until victory! - Chairman of the Political Council of the United National Movement, Levan Khabeishvili, said at the Mukhatgverdi Brothers' Cemetery, where he paid tribute to the fighters who died in the 2008 Russian-Georgian war.

According to Khabeishvili, "the blood of these fighters must not go unnoticed and Georgia must be freed from the occupation that Bidzina Ivanishvili is carrying out together with his Russian group."

"17 years have passed since the brave fighters fought the enemies of our country, Russians, and did not allow them to occupy all of Georgia. It is a sad reality that after 17 years, the Bidzina Ivanishvili regime, together with Putin, succeeded, and today the Russian government has occupied all of Georgia.

After 17 years, we have clearly seen how the regime judges heroes and how it claims that everything was for imaginary PR. The Tsulukiani treason ommission did not appreciate the heroes' achievements, but convicted the generals.

The generals were asked: - Where did you shoot from? Did you shoot ballistic missiles at the Russians? If I had been allowed, I would have fired a ballistic missile directly into Putin's residence, because of what he has done to Georgia and Georgian citizens and what he is doing in the world with his terrorist actions," said Levan Khabeishvili.
