Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili warned Ukrainians about the consequences of possible concessions to Russia. He stated that amid Russian shelling in Ukraine, capitulationist sentiments are strengthening, which, in his view, could lead to the establishment of a regime similar to Bidzina Ivanishvili's rule in Georgia. This is reported by Hlavkom, citing his Facebook post.
"A defeated and capitulationist wave in the face of shelling has openly colonialist character and will lead to the establishment of a regime in the country similar to Ivanishvili's dictatorship in Georgia, aimed at final surrender of Ukraine to Moscow and its swift destruction," the post says.
Saakashvili urged Ukrainians to look at the situation in Georgia, where, according to him, citizens are massively leaving the country, and their places are being taken by Russians who buy housing, open schools and businesses.
"Georgians are massively leaving the country; their places are being taken by Russians who settle in houses, open their own schools and businesses. Georgians are being rewritten into history according to Russian templates. Soldiers who would have defended the homeland from the Russian invasion were mass killed. One by one, all patriotic political leaders ended up in prison on fabricated charges. The economy is fully dependent on Russia, and all other ties have been severed. Georgia has become an economic colony of Moscow," added the former Georgian president.
Saakashvili summed up: "What is happening inside the country and at the international level, where unprecedented pressure is also being exerted, is an attack not only on President Zelensky, but on the very statehood of Ukraine. In the past, they toppled not only me, but also destroyed the idea of statehood, independence, dignity, and successful reforms in Georgia. Dear fellow citizens, let us give a decisive reply to this pressure! Do not give up dignity and homeland!".
As is known, 9 October 2026, Donald Trump stated that he had reached an agreement with Putin on the immediate supply of the first batch of over 300 thousand tons of Russian diesel (with plans to increase to 4,8 million tons), to lower fuel prices for American farmers and drivers. Trump publicly thanked Putin for this deal.
President Volodymyr Zelensky harshly criticized the deal, calling it an “absolutely terrible step” and a “gift to Putin” that would give the Kremlin billions more to finance the war.
In particular, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Volodymyr Zelensky of unwillingness to end the war. The American leader believes that the Ukrainian president "wants to create a problem for the whole world".
Subsequently, it was reported that the United States had increased pressure, demanding that Ukraine stop strikes on Russian oil refineries. Washington also threatened Kyiv with stopping the exchange of crucial intelligence information.
