Okruashvili also said that after 2006 Georgia didn't have the possibility for success by military means. “The Russians had repositioned and improved their military infrastructure in the North Caucuses, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia.

He also criticized the United States for unwavering support towards President Saakashvili’s administration. “

“Lack of criticism from the U.S. allowed him to go too far,” Okruashvili said.
