In August 2008, Saakashvili's military adventure was organized by the United States, - said Nikolai Patrushev, adviser to the Russian president and assistant to the chairman of the naval board.
"Lies and provocations are common companions of the policies of Washington and other Western countries. It was the Americans who organized Saakashvili's military adventure in August 2008, although they claimed that they had nothing to do with it. The direct intervention of the USA in the affairs of Georgia led to the separation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia from its composition. I think the Georgian people know that they are paying for the actions of the Americans with their suffering," said Patrushev, who is the former secretary of the Russian Security Council.
