Power Charges: Ukrainian Citizenship and Face Abuse

power charges: Saakashvili, who was Georgia's president during 2004-2013, later became governor of Ukraine's Odesa region, according to Metro News. He resigned in a dispute with Poroshenko and was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship last year. The protest included a nationalist faction, and some of its members broke windows at two Russian-owned banks and a Russian overseas agency after the march. He also lost his Georgian citizenship and is wanted in Georgia to face abuse of power charges. On Monday, he was detained at a Kyiv restaurant and deported to Poland. Saakashvili was abroad when he lost Ukrainian citizenship, but forced his way back into the country in September. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
