Key FactsSaakashvili Calls on Trump to Take Tougher Russia Stance
Sep 20, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thedailybeast.com
  • Saakashvili has been imprisoned in Georgia for nearly five years, serving a 12.5-year sentence for embezzlement and abuse of power; he and allies call the charges politically motivated.

  • Eric Trump announced plans to visit Tbilisi to present the proposed Trump Tower Tbilisi, a project linked to Bidzina Ivanishvili.

  • Saakashvili says his five-year-old daughter Jasmine is under bombardment in Kyiv and urges Trump to send Patriot missiles.

  • In June, the European Parliament demanded Saakashvili’s immediate humanitarian release so he could receive medical treatment.
  • I don’t see any scenario where Putin doesn’t end very badly. He either finishes like Ratko Mladić or will be hanged by those around him.
    — Mikheil Saakashvili, former President of Georgia, told The Daily Beast in an interview about Putin and his end, referencing Ratko Mladić.
