Saakashvili's supporters rioted near Poroshenko's administration
Supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili rioted on Bankovaya Street near Petro Poroshenko’s administration, trying to break through the police cordon to the presidential office to protest against the deprivation of Ukrainian citizenship of their Georgian leader.
Representatives of the Movement of New Forces party said that Poroshenko is preparing to ban Saakashvili’s entry into Ukraine - now the fugitive Georgian politician is abroad in the West.

The Movement of New Forces stated that the date of Saakashvili’s return will soon be announced; it is planned to gather his supporters in order to prevent the Poroshenko regime from preventing the entry of its competitor.
Tonight, demonstrators will also gather at Boryspil airport to help Saakashvili’s ally, Georgian prosecutor David Sakvarelidze, fly in, who, according to rumors, is also threatened with deprivation of Ukrainian citizenship.
The picketers also stated that in the near future they would hold pickets of Western embassies in Kyiv in order to convey to them information about Poroshenko’s unfair decision regarding Saakashvili.
“We must create unprecedented pressure so that the international community, just as they began to abandon Yanukovych when he crossed the line, so that they begin to abandon Poroshenko, who also crossed the line,” announced the Movement of New Forces.
