Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgia’s former president and ex-governor of Odessa region, who was detained in a Kiev restaurant earlier on Monday, has already departed for Poland.

According to Ukrainian media, Saakashvili was put on a charter flight and flew off to Poland at 16:00 local time.

As local media notes this was not a deportation but a readmission. That is, the return of an illegal immigrant to the country from where they illegally arrived in Ukraine.

The unidentified armed persons detained Mikheil Saakashvili at the restaurant “Suluguni” in Kiev earlier this afternoon. The video footage reflecting the detention of Mikheil Saakashvili was released in social network.
