At a press conference on February 22, doctors at the Vivamedi facility, where former President Mikheil Saakashvili receives treatment, stated that his health is deteriorating. 

According to Zurab Chkhaidze, the clinical director of Vivamedi, the doctors are trying their best and are providing Saakashvili with all the methods and means of contemporary treatment. "His psycho-emotional state may be used to explain everything. The patient expresses his inability to bear his current circumstances," Chkhaidze continued.

Endocrinologist Sopo Mebuke revealed to the media that Saakashvili consumes three times fewer calories than are required for his body to operate normally and maintain its weight. "So, it seems sensible that he is losing weight. He keeps eating the foods he likes, and Saakashvili has no endocrinological pathologies," the doctor added.

Saakashvili's doctor Tamar Davarashvili said that as of February 20, Saakashvili weighs around 67kg. His body weight has dramatically fallen. She said that his condition had left him so frail that he had trouble walking and spent much of his time in bed. The physician called Saakashvili's unbalanced diet terrible. 

According to Mikheil Saakashvili, the sole truth at the press conference was that my condition was terrible and fast deteriorating, and the clinic literally could not do anything. "The other parts were false," he added.

"Nobody wants to live as much as I do. But this clinic refuses to treat my major ailment, which is heavy metal toxicity, anorexia, and cachexia. I want to see the triumph of Ukraine, which is achievable, and the demise of all Putinists," he continued. "We are in the final stage of the special operation to kill me, and "parliamentarians," "journalists" are participating in this, now the clinic. I call on Georgia and the world not to allow this criminal corporation to carry out its evil intentions," Saakashvili concluded.
