According to him, Tbilisi accused Kyiv of preparing a coup d'état in Georgia and trying to drag the country into a conflict with Russia.

“We categorically reject such insinuations that have nothing to do with reality,” Nikolenko said in a statement to RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili expressed the opinion that Ukraine sent ex-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili to his homeland on purpose to destabilize the situation in the country and include it in hostilities.
