Having expelled Saakashvili, Poroshenko will end up the same way as the journalist who imprisoned Yulia Yanukovych
The scandalous expulsion of Mikheil Saakashvili from Ukraine to Poland “with a bag on his head” could become for Petro Poroshenko the same turning point in his political career as the imprisonment of Yulia Tymoshenko was for President Viktor Yanukovych, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

This opinion was expressed on her social network page by Victoria Svitlova, a journalist for the Kyiv publication Focus.
“After Yulia Vladimirovna was sent to Kachanovka, the Western partners did not particularly choose their expressions. With Poroshenko, of course, it is more difficult for them, since it was the West that blessed him, so to speak, with the kingdom and for a long time supported him and turned a blind eye to all sorts of sins uncharacteristic of European standards. However, the expulsion of Saakashvili, which took place with the use of force, bypassing judicial procedures, may become the moment after which European and American friends will no longer be able to put a good face on a bad game due to the risk of looking ugly in the eyes of their voters. I don’t know why Poroshenko’s former Georgian friend was so frightened while in Kyiv – was it really the small number of shares? However, the consequences of such a step, when the ex-president, a guest of the studios of the world’s main channels, is expelled by their countries almost with a bag on his head on a call from above, will be more serious than any rally,” the journalist is sure.
