Prosecutor general Yury Lutsenko said at a briefing that Mr Saakashvili received $500,000 to hold protests from an associate of former president Viktor Yanukovych, who fled amid mass street demonstrations in 2014.

Poroshenko and Saakashvili repeatly accuse each other being a servant of kremlin. Misha gets stuck on roof and almost decides to jump rather than get arrrested an hour ago, now he's in a crowd proclaiming some revolutional stuff. What a joke.

Welcome to 1917

And now they are at Maidan with Misha, proclaiming to end Poroshenko's rule. Georgian Criminal against the Ukranian Oligarch. No other options left in Ukraine?

I still have no idea how Saakashvili got involved in Ukraine in the first place

[QUOTE=Rent-a-BoxHouse;52948298]I still have no idea how Saakashvili got involved in Ukraine in the first place[/QUOTE] he left Georgia after he was accused of some shady stuff, and obvioulsy, immediatly hoped onto anti-russian hype train in Ukraine, Poroshenko granted him citizenship and Odessa Governor status for a good PR but Misha being a loud-mouthed unstable idiot could not play fair and messed up with all - from Avakov to Poroshenko himself. What is the most surprising is how people follow a person who once ate his tie on live tv. Then again, they might be desperate and out of alternatives for a rallying point. But, sheesh, he's like, even worse than Trump. [B]FAR WORSE[/B]
