“You know, at heart he is a violent guy.

We had problems with him in Georgia,” he said in a conversation with Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, known as Lexus and Vovan.

In his opinion, if Saakashvili "was true to his roots, he would still be in Georgia, and not wander around Ukraine and other places."

Bush also asked to be told whether Saakashvili is currently participating in military operations in Ukraine against Russian troops.

“Let me ask: is he wearing a uniform, is he fighting against the Russians?”

- said the former president of the United States.

Saakashvili was detained in Georgia in the fall of 2021 and has been on Georgian territory ever since.

In January of this year, he announced that a "plan to save" Georgia was being prepared in prison.

On April 1, the European Court of Human Rights refused to consider Mikheil Saakashvili's complaint about his mistreatment in a Georgian prison.
