Artist Kikabidze asked President Zelensky to save prisoner Saakashvili imprisoned, Mikhail Saakashvili. He stated this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon, which was published on his YouTube channel.
The singer noted that he specially flew to Kiev to ask for help for Saakashvili, who has Ukrainian citizenship. According to him, there is a feeling that the Georgian authorities want the politician to “not come out alive” from the places of detention.
Kikabidze added that Zelensky heard him and will talk about it on the phone. The artist said that he loves the Georgian ex-president and his family.
On the air of Savik Shuster's Freedom of Speech show, the singer quoted the answer of the Ukrainian leader: “Misha is a citizen of Ukraine. I am obliged to take him out of there. ”
He added that Saakashvili’s prison is in danger. “He can be removed there, because there is a person who dreams of seeing him in a coffin,” Kikabidze stressed, making it clear that this is the former Prime Minister of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili.
Earlier, Zelensky asked the Prime Minister Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili to admit Ukrainian doctors to the former President Mikhail Saakashvili. The President said that he spoke with Garibashvili by phone and noted that the rights of a citizen of Ukraine Saakashvili “must be fully guaranteed in accordance with international norms.”
