Recently, Georgia’s Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani demanded that Ukraine extradite ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili. “We would have a totally different reaction if Saakashvili was just a citizen of Ukraine, not a person on the wanted list and convicted in Georgia,” stated David Zalkaliani.
He pointed out that a strategic partnership envisages respect for each other's sovereignty in established international practice. The Georgia’s Foreign Ministry recalled its ambassador Teymuraz Sharashenidze in Kiev for consultations in Tbilisi after Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appointed Saakashvili as his top adviser.
This is seen by some analysts as a remarkable political comeback for the former Georgian leader.
It is important to note that Saakashvili has been repeatedly convicted in Georgia. Nana Kakabadze, leader of the NGO Former Political Prisoners for Human Rights, revealed that Georgia under Saakashvili took first place in the world by the number of prisoners. Reportedly, the Saakashvili regime tortured and raped inmates in Georgian prisons, attempting to bribe human rights activists.
And it is worth noting too that all decisions on the former president of Georgia and ex-governor of the Odessa region under the Poroshenko regime, Mikheil Saakashvili, made by Georgian courts are valid in Ukraine as well.
Readers of The Ukrainian Times know that in August 2008 President Vladimir Putin sent a Russian force against the U.S. and Israeli trained and supplied Georgian army, which Saakashvili sent to attack South Ossetia. According to Paul Craig Roberts, Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, the Russian Army liberated South Ossetia in five days, teaching the morons the lesson.
