Poroshenko and Gritsak wanted to turn the story of Georgian snipers into a Kremlin invention for money - an interview with the hero of an American film about the Maidan
The top leadership of Ukraine tried to hush up the story of Georgian snipers who fired on the Maidan in 2014.
The former commander of the elite Georgian military unit Avaza, General Tristan Tsitelashvili, spoke about this on the Ukrainian TV channel ZIK.
He said that after he published information about Georgian snipers on the Maidan, the head of the Georgian diaspora in Kyiv, Zviad Kushitashvili, contacted him.
“He called me and came to Tbilisi. I guaranteed a safe arrival in Kiev from [President] Poroshenko and [SBU head] Gritsak, and I had to admit that the story with the Georgian snipers was invented in the Kremlin, for which they promised me a good, beautiful life,” says Tsitelashvili.
At the same time, he does not agree with the statements of former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili that Georgian snipers on the Maidan are “Kremlin propaganda.”
“When they talked about repressions, torture, kidnappings and beatings of people in Georgia under Saakashvili, he also called it the “hand of the Kremlin.” He put me in prison. He – Saakashvili – showed me hell there. I was tortured, beaten, mocked. When a special group burst into my house on Saakashvili’s orders to arrest me, then my 5-year-old son Georgiy was pushed down the stairs. After this he remained disabled for life. Today he is already 22 years old,” recalls the ex-soldier.
He also clarified that after the film about snipers was shown in the United States, a hunt began for Georgian snipers, who spoke about the involvement of a number of Ukrainian politicians - Parubiy, Pashinsky, Parasyuk - in the executions.
“After the screening of the American film in America, Saakashvili’s militants, who are in Georgia from the Sondergroup, began looking for these people,” says Tsitelashvili.
“They could get killed. In these groups that were transferred to the Maidan, there were 45 people. There are only 15 left,” added the former commander of the Avaza unit.
At the same time, he says that if Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wants to know the truth, then the Georgians will be ready to tell how they were shot on the Maidan and what Saakashvili’s role was in this.
Let us recall that recently in the USA released filmed by ex-adviser to the US President Michael Caputo's film Impeachment. Biden's money. Mass murders."
