‼️Georgia puts 300 members of the Georgian Legion fighting for Ukraine on the wanted list

The special services of Georgia, following the Russian authorities, put Georgian volunteers who fought on the side of Ukraine on the wanted list.

According to Mamuka Mamulashvili, a commander of the Georgian National Legion fighting for Ukraine, about 300 people from the combat unit he led were put on the wanted list in Georgia. Most of them are now in Ukraine.

“I foresaw this development after Russia started putting us on the wanted list. This was done so that the Georgian government would have grounds to arrest us. Russian and Georgian Special Services are working in sync today. Many of our guys who were returning to Georgia were advised by the Georgian special services to leave. They were told: “There are a lot of Russians here, we will not be able to protect you anymore, we ask you to leave,” Mamulashvili says.

In June, a Russian court recognized the Georgian Legion as a terrorist organization. Russia’s Investigative Committee brought more than 70 members of the Legion to justice in absentia and put Mamuka Mamulashvili on the wanted list.

At the same time, the State Security Service of Georgia also began summoning other Georgian volunteers who participated in the defense of Ukraine as part of other units for interrogation.

At least two volunteers, Nadim Khmaladze and Lasha Chigladze, were notified of being summoned to court.

Khmaladze posted on his social media that he had been charged under articles on coup d’etat and terrorism. Chigladze was also summoned to the Tbilisi City Court as part of the investigation into the coup d’état and “preparation of terrorism”.
