The Georgian Ministry of Defense rejected the data by the Georgian TV channel Mtavari, calling the story disinformation.
The Ministry of Defense of Georgia may transfer data on Georgian volunteers in Ukraine to the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Georgian opposition TV channel Mtavari, European Truth writes.
It was noted that the personal files of the Georgian military fell into the hands of the so-called “People’s Prosecutor’s Office of the LPR”, which published their photos allegedly from the former training base of the Ukrainian military near Lisichansk .
We are talking about the Georgian officer Mikheil Kamkhadze, who has been serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2017. The occupants released documents with full information about him and his family members, including their addresses and places of work.
Kamkhadze claims that he has never been to Lisichansk, and that someone from the archival department of the Georgian Defense Ministry could sell the folder with his personal file to the Russian special services.
Another Georgian whose personal file was in the possession of the occupiers was Nadym Khmaladze. He claims that he, along with data about his family, was published on one of the pro-Russian Telegram channels in March, but he does not know where.
After the story was released, the Georgian opposition criticized the government, accusing it of “treason and collaboration”, and also declared Russian influence in the Georgian Ministry of Defense.
The Georgian Ministry of Defense rejected the data of the Georgian TV channel Mtavari, which, in its investigation, said that the department could transfer to Russia the data on Georgians fighting in Ukraine.
The agency calls the TV channel’s plot “absurd and purposefully disseminated misinformation”, which “aims to deceive the public, discredit government structures and include narrow party interests.”
The Georgian Defense Ministry claims that the personal file of former Georgian serviceman Mikheil Kamkhadze, who appears in Mtavari’s story, has been transferred to the relevant district commission.
“Thus, the personal files of the reserve officers will not get outside the department. The relevant services will establish whether the documents shown in the media are really personal files and where exactly in Ukraine they were found, ” said the message.
The Georgian Defense Ministry noted that the TV channel did not wait for a response to a request it sent to the ministry and “decided to spread disinformation.”
Recall that 11 volunteers from Georgia were killed in the war in Ukraine.
