The Georgian army Colonel, Deputy commander of the Georgian Legion". For the independence of Ukraine is fighting for a year. The battalion is deployed in the Luhansk region, near 24th and 92nd brigades of the armed forces.
About this on his page in Facebook wrote Cyborgs-2015 - art-project about heroes of our time.
"Georgians remember how during the Abkhazian war in 1992-1993 with them shoulder to shoulder fought the Ukrainian guys from UNA UNSO. In that war died 16 Ukrainians. 2 of them who fought directly next to me. And if not for your helicopter pilots, half of the refugees were killed. They just worked wonders. Who is related to aviation, he understands what it means to perform tasks in the mountains, in totally unsuitable conditions. Remember also the war in 2008. The tremendous assistance provided by Ukraine, starting from the President to ordinary people.
Now Russia repeats in the Donbas Abkhazian scenario. In the East of Ukraine a stake in the future not only of Ukraine, but also Georgia. Now if Russian aggression is over the odds, then all this is repeated again in Georgia. That's why we try and what we don't want.
Today, many in Georgia are willing to come to Ukraine and to join the "Legion". Only I had 300-400 people, military professionals, who aspire to the us. But need funds to contain them, and we don't have. The position of the legionaries of principle - all volunteers are helping the Ukrainians free of charge. No one here ever has received or will receive. It is our sacred duty. And the number of the Georgian Legion small, and accept into the ranks of the Legionnaires not everyone. The selection process is very tough. We only have people we know well or know our very close friends.
As a citizen of another country, I have no right to criticize the Ukrainian command. Although I understand that there is a problem unprofessional staff that did not adequately plan the operation. The Ministry of defense need to prepare young, educated officers, guide to study in America and other countries. To open training centers here. By the way, in Dnepropetrovsk four Georgian officers, my friends, has trained about 1,500 people. You need a lot of such training centers.
I want to mention the role of the volunteer battalions. It is a very sensible and well-motivated guys. After Ilovaisky boiler APU were, so to speak, shocked, demoralized. If not for the volunteer battalions, the enemy to reach Kiev.
Near us are fighting our close friends – "Chechen battalion named Dzhokhar Dudayev". Very good guys, progressive thinking, very seriously prepared. We help each other. Please do not confuse Chechnya and Kadyrov's men. Kadyrovtsy - traitors of the Chechen people, it's Putin's army.
Today we have a common problem, we are faced with a common threat. But the faith in the victory we have in common".
June 23, 2015 Vano Nadiradze awarded the title of "national Hero of Ukraine" and was awarded the first non - state award-the order of "national Hero of Ukraine".
