Georgian snipers, deployed to the Kiev Maidan in 2014 with the participation of ex-Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, were also going to be eliminated. Bogdan, a dark-skinned killer who did not speak Russian well, was hired for this, Tristan Tsitelashvili, a Georgian officer and former commander of the Avaza battalion, told Izvestia on November 18.
According to him, after the events on the Maidan, the snipers wanted to tell about the actions of the ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, but Kiev decided to “shut up” both the mercenaries and Tsitelashvili himself.
“When the matter took a serious turn, and Poroshenko already realized that something had to be done about it, a representative of our diaspora in Kiev met with me and offered me a million dollars so that I could blame Russia for all this, change my testimony and blame the Kremlin. supposedly from them was such a task, “- admitted the general.
After a while, a certain Bogdan contacted him. He was in Tbilisi and wanted to meet with Tsitelashvili, posing as a journalist.
“I was looking for Bogdan, but I saw a dark-skinned man who spoke poor Russian. He said he was collecting information about snipers and asked for help. I immediately realized that a person who speaks bad Russian and collects such information cannot be a journalist, and through my friends I established his identity. It turned out that it was one of the snipers operating on the Maidan, and he was collecting information for the further elimination of me and those Georgian snipers, ”he explained.
Tsitelashvili recommended the killer Bogdan to leave Georgia. But later he found out that he had met with representatives of the Chechen diaspora in Pankisi and asked for help in eliminating the general. He was refused, citing a great resonance in Georgia over the murder of a high-ranking military man.
“According to my information, he was still in Georgia and was looking for people who could help fulfill the task that Saakashvili, Poroshenko, Gritsenko and others gave him, but when he realized that there was no point, he left the country,” Tsitelashvili added.
The day before, on November 17, General Tsitelashvili spoke about the transfer of a group of snipers to Ukraine in 2014. He said that Petro Poroshenko, Mikhail Saakashvili and snipers who arrived from Georgia were involved in the shooting of protesters and law enforcement officers on the Maidan in 2014.
On the same day, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova said that former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and a number of former high-ranking officials could be punished with life imprisonment in the case of organizing the shooting on the Maidan in 2014.
In November 2013, activists gathered in Kiev for a protest demanding the signing of an association with the European Union, these events were called “Euromaidan” and led to a coup and the overthrow of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. On the main square of Kiev, clashes between the radicals and the security forces began, leading to losses on both sides.
In February 2014, sniper fire was opened on the Maidan by unknown protesters and the police, as a result 53 people were killed. The leaders of the protesters blamed the incumbent authorities for the incident. However, the participants in the events, mercenaries from Georgia, said that the order to shoot was given by the head of the “Maidan self-defense” Andrei Parubiy. According to them, they were promised $ 5 thousand for completing the assignment.
Former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vitaliy Zakharchenko later said that three groups of snipers were operating on the Maidan. The first is the activists who later confessed everything themselves; the second – Georgian snipers; still little is known about the third.
