on the first day weekend the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has granted Ukrainian Saakashvili citizenship, signed the order on its appointment of the Odessa Governor and himself showed officials in Odessa.

"The appointment of Saakashvili by the Governor of the Odessa region is a slap in the face of Poroshenko to the Ukrainian people, who chose a Chapter of the country," said Carpenter.

Chapter LNR believes that "the hangover" for the residents of Odessa and the Odessa region will be strong from such a decision Poroshenko, who, apparently, believes that among Ukrainians there is no worthy candidates to lead such a territory as Odessa region.

"I don't know what events preceded the appointment of Saakashvili, but I'm pretty sure "hangover" the residents will be very strong", he said.

Saakashvili left Georgia after the inauguration of the new President Giorgi Margvelashvili in November 2013. The chief Prosecutor's office of Georgia in absentia charged him in several criminal cases, as well as among them of embezzlement of about $ 5 million of state funds for personal needs. Later Saakashvili was declared wanted in Georgia. In February 2015, he became an adviser to the Ukrainian President
