Zelensky Calls for Saakashvili's Return to Ukraine

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has called on the authorities of Georgia to transfer former president Mikheil Saakashvili to Ukraine for necessary medical treatment. This appeal was published on his Telegram channel.

"Right now, Russia is killing Ukrainian citizen Mikheil Saakashvili through the hands of the Georgian authorities," he stated.

Zelensky also noted that the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly urged official Tbilisi to stop the mistreatment of Saakashvili and agree to his return to Ukraine.

President Zelensky has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Georgian ambassador in Ukraine, convey a "decisive protest," and request that he leave Ukraine within 48 hours for consultations with Tbilisi.

He called on international partners to resolve the situation and added, "No government in Europe has the right to execute people; life is the primary value in Europe."
