“President Zelensky demonstrated humanity, and in full swing of the war and preparation for the NATO Summit, he found time for me,” imprisoned ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili wrote on Facebook.
According to Saakashvili, he remains the secretary of the executive committee of Ukraine’s National Council for Reforms and a “proud citizen of the heroic country.”
“How not to love Ukraine and respect its president?” he said, adding he was also grateful to Mykhailo Podolyak, Head of Office of the President of Ukraine, and Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister, and was expecting good news from Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday asked the Georgian Ambassador to leave Ukraine within 48 hours for consultations over ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili. He also called on the Georgian authorities “to hand over Ukrainian citizen Mykhailo Saakashvili to Ukraine for the necessary treatment and care.”
