[6] He later commented “The idea of creating the legion was to gather people of different nationalities to serve together to stand against Russian aggression, and we did it.”[5] Georgian volunteers frequently cited Ukraine and Georgia's common cause against Russia and insisted that fighting against the Russian aggression in Ukraine was also a patriotic act that served Georgia's interests.

[16] In February 2016, the Georgian Legion was officially integrated into the 25th mechanized infantry battalion "Kyiv Rus" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

[19] In January 2018 the Legion's commander Mamulashvili said the unit remained committed to the Ukrainian cause and moved to another brigade and added that the decision was not connected to a political conflict between Mikheil Saakashvili and President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

[20] In February 2022, immediately prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Georgian Legion was involved in training newly recruited Ukrainian civilians.

[28] These include: On 30 March 2022, a video surfaced of the aftermath of an ambushed Russian paratrooper BMD-2 armored vehicle, geolocated in the area of Dmytrivka located a few kilometers from Bucha, Kyiv Oblast.

[35] A different video of the same event shows how one of the captured and seemingly injured Russian serviceman is shot by an unknown member of the Ukrainian forces.

Mamulashvili retorted that the claims of a coup were baseless and accused the Georgian Dream party of "receiving tasks from the Kremlin".

[38] On 31 January 2025, the prime minister of Slovakia Robert Fico together with Slovak Information Service accused the Georgian Legion of organising anti-government demonstrations with the goal of coup d'état in the country.
