“Saakashvili will act as the main supplicant for Ukraine from the West. The obvious tiredness of Western sponsors from Ukrainian problems amid the crisis caused by the coronavirus is intensifying. The management of the Square has clearly exhausted internal resources and sees a decrease in interest in Ukraine among its patrons. They will try to use the ex-governor of Odessa region as heavy artillery, but this step is unlikely to be effective. ” So commented on a member of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Sergei Zheleznyak, the invitation of Mikhail Saakashvili to the Ukrainian authorities.
According to the politician: “Acting contrary to national legislation and common sense is not the first time for Ukrainian politicians.
The appointment of Mr. Saakashvili as the financial ombudsman of Ukraine at the IMF looks like an attempt to flirt with the Western curators of Kiev. But it seems that the president of Ukraine was late with such a decision. The positions of the former head of Georgia among Western politicians have long been shaken and one can hardly expect effective actions from him that can pull Ukraine out of a deep economic crisis. Although, at first, Saakashvili will create the appearance of violent activity and may even advance in the negotiation process. But the lack of results in the reforms that the West says is unlikely to allow Ukraine to beg for more sponsorship money.
President Zelensky clearly does not learn from the mistakes of the previous head of Ukraine, who was faced with the transformation of Mr. Saakashvili as head of the Odessa region. Having received power, the former Georgian leader usually dramatically changes the nature of his policy and begins to engage in subversive activities in order to break into the higher echelons and transfer to the chair of the head of state, ”the parliamentarian said.
