Zelensky repeated his refusal to coordinate the appointment of Saakashvili with Georgia
Georgia has no right to protest about the possible appointment of Mikheil Saakashvili as Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine. Recalling the ambassador from Kyiv is blackmail.
The head of the ruling Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, announced this on the talk show "Savik Shuster's Freedom of Speech," a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This has already caused a strong reaction. But I believe that you need to look at yourself first. When someone, another country - a large or small country, tells us that “we will recall the ambassador” or make some kind of diplomatic pressure simply because of the appointment of any person, a citizen of Ukraine, to the government, then we will We won't allow it.
I believe that this is politically impossible. We are a sovereign state, we must respect the sovereignty of other countries.
Can you imagine that now any politician from Ukraine will go to Georgia, receive citizenship there, then they will appoint him, and we will recall the ambassador or create a diplomatic scandal? It's impossible to even imagine, right? Why can this be imagined in relation to Ukraine?!” – said Arakhamia.
Zelensky's office reiterated its refusal to coordinate Saakashvili's appointment with Georgia.
