The Ambassador of Georgia to Ukraine, Giorgi Zakarashvili, left Kyiv.
Giorgi Zakarashvili had to leave Kyiv by the decision of the President of Ukraine.
In particular, on July 3, Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to contact the Georgian Ambassador and ask him to leave Kyiv and return to Tbilisi for consultations on the issue of Mikheil Saakashvili within 48 hours.
“We have repeatedly called on the official Tbilisi to stop this abuse and agree on Saakashvili’s return to Ukraine. Our partners, in coordination with Ukraine, have also offered various rescue options. Today, I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Georgian Ambassador to Ukraine, to express our strong protest and to ask him to leave Ukraine within 48 hours to hold consultations with his capital. Once again, I call on the Georgian authorities to hand over Ukrainian citizen Mykhailo Saakashvili to Ukraine for the necessary treatment and care. And I urge our partners to address this situation and not ignore it and save this man. No government in Europe has the right to execute people, life is a basic European value,” Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted on July 3.
