On July 4th, official Kyiv gave the Georgian ambassador in Ukraine 48 hours to leave the country. The ambassador is required to return to Tbilisi and consult with the Georgian government regarding the transfer of Mikhail Saakashvili to Ukraine for medical treatment. This decision was personally made by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, after footage from the court hearing of Saakashvili on July 3rd was published. Saakashvili participated in the hearing remotely and appeared visibly emaciated and unwell.

In a statement Vladimir Zelensky said, ‘Russia, with the help of Georgian authorities, is now killing Ukrainian citizen Mikhail Saakashvili.’

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has referred to the decision to expel the ambassador as interference in the country’s internal affairs.

“The decision of the Ukrainian authorities inflicts significant damage to the strategic relationship between the two countries and constitutes a direct interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. We hope that official Kyiv will reconsider its decision and make efforts towards further developing the historically friendly relations between the two nations,” stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.

Georgian authorities categorically deny any violation of Mikhail Saakashvili’s rights and assert that he is receiving necessary treatment and care. Saakashvili’s relatives and lawyers have long described his condition as extremely serious and are demanding that he be taken abroad for medical treatment.
