Political scientist on the expulsion of Saakashvili from Ukraine
A video of Mikhail Saakashvili's detention in Kiev appeared before his deportation to Poland. Why the ex-president of Georgia was not sent home, the radio Sputnik was explained by political scientist Alexander Chachia.
On the page in Facebook, the ex-president of Georgia and the former governor of the Odessa region, Mikhail Saakashvili, published a video of the politician's detention.
On recordings from security cameras, you can see how the siloviki in masks break into one of the restaurants in Kiev and put several visitors on the floor. After that, the shots are shown where four law enforcers lead, presumably, Saakashvili into the car, while one of them holds his hair.
The description of the video says that the people who detained Saakashvili "beat him in the face all the way to the plane, closed his mouth and eyes, threatened to shoot."
Saakashvili on Monday was expelled by the Ukrainian state border service to Poland, from the territory of which he illegally got into Ukraine last fall, breaking through the cordons of border guards and law enforcers.
The Polish border service confirmed his arrival in Warsaw.
Saakashvili's supporters in Kiev meanwhile held a rally outside the presidential administration building. Earlier, between them and the police, there were skirmishes, one person was detained.
Arriving in Poland, Saakashvili on the air of the ZIK television channel said that he intended to return to Ukraine by legal means.
The Georgian political scientist, the head of the Globalization Problems Center Alexander Chachiya on Sputnik radio explained why Saakashvili was sent to Poland, and not to Georgia.
"There would certainly not be any extradition to Georgia, because neither the Georgian authorities need it nor the Americans need his return to Georgia." His Americans do not want to put him in jail: for many years they painted it in the eyes of the public "as a beacon democracy, "and if he finds himself in prison, the Americans themselves will find themselves in an awkward position, but they gave the go-ahead for his expulsion from Ukraine, because he was simply bored. He began to go beyond all limits and they began to understand that he was with his falling rated serious political force Ukraine is a country where everyone thinks of themselves as the savior of the nation, the father of the people who must come to power, so there is no solidarity of politicians - they can unite only when the Americans say so to them, but this time there was no such team , because Saakashvili is not suitable for the role of unifier and "the father of the Ukrainian people," - believes Alexander Chachia.
