Naturally, something tragic happened in 2008, when the Saakashvili regime started the war in Tskhinvali - the Saakashvili regime started the war on an external order, Saakashvili must be held responsible for starting the war, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated regarding the 2008 Russia-Georgia war.

According to him, Mikheil Saakashvili started the war on the orders of the “deep state”.

"On August 8, of course, we will honor the memory of those who died in the August war, the memory of our heroes. Naturally, something tragic happened in 2008, when the Saakashvili regime started the war in Tskhinvali. What did all this lead to - more than 400 dead, occupied territories, so-called recognition. Then Saakashvili remained in power through rigged elections, and Saakashvili's undemocratic, bloody regime started the August war. Saakashvili's regime itself signed a Council of Europe resolution, which clearly states that large-scale hostilities were started by the Saakashvili regime - with the bombing of Tskhinvali.

Throughout the day of August 8, Saakashvili and representatives of his bloody regime claimed that they had gone on the offensive, that they were trying to restore constitutional order and order. Until Medvedev made a statement about the start of the operation, Saakashvili assured us that he was going to return Tskhinvali with his own offensive actions.

Those who participated in the August war are heroes, everyone knows everything, Saakashvili's regime never represented Georgia. In 2008, it did not represent Georgia, based on the fact that they established a bloody dictatorship and remained in power through fraud, in August 2008, Saakashvili's regime did not represent Georgia.

This was a catastrophic action, this was a commissioned betrayal. Ask Donald Trump who the “deep state” is. Saakashvili's regime started the war on an external order, on the orders of the “deep state”.

The military carries out its task, in any system, it received an order from the leadership and fulfilled this order. Every soldier is a hero, unlike the cowardly leader, who is Mikheil Saakashvili. Saakashvili must be held accountable for starting the war.

Regarding the dates, this is also shameful. Take out the footage from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and see when Saakashvili's party marked the start of the war. On August 8? Did they learn after 5 and 6 years that the war started on August 7, not 8? This is shameful, all this shows their shameful face. In 2009, they thought that the war started on August 8, and 10 years later they learned that it started on August 7, they want to divide society in everything.

In 2008, Mikheil Saakashvili carried out Russian interests in Georgia. How did this war end? The Russian Federation occupied 20% of Georgia's territories, then the so-called recognition took place," Irakli Kobakhidze said.
