Former Georgian President Saakashvili and his supporters force the Ukrainian border.
The former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili And Hundreds Of His Supporters Broke Into Ukraine On Sunday
After several hours of blocking at the Polish-Ukrainian border, former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili finally chose the strong way. The former head of state and hundreds of his supporters entered Ukrainian Territory in the evening of Sunday 10 September, forcing a cordon of border guards in Medyka.
Fearing "provocations", the former Georgian president, who had left on Sunday by bus with journalists, had decided to change his route and had gone in the early afternoon on a train to Kiev to try to return to Ukraine . This train was blocked in the last Polish city before the border, which prompted Saakchvili to find another way to make the junction with its many supporters waiting for him in Ukrainian territory.
Mr. Saakashvili, 49, had led Georgia for a decade and carried out reforms applauded by the West. But, authoritarian and responsible for the military disaster against Russia in 2008, he left in disgrace for Ukraine, where he was naturalized and appointed governor of the Odessa region.
Saakashvili was deprived of his Ukrainian National by President Petro Poroshenko in July 2017, while he was in the United States.
Kiev had invoked "incorrect information provided in his application for citizenship" to justify his decision. The latter had intervened in the wake of the deterioration of Mr Saakashvili's relations with the Kiev regime after his resignation from his post as governor in November 2016, which he explained by the difficulties encountered in combating corruption.
