Bespalko: appointment of Saakashvili Prime Minister of Ukraine unlikely

The appointment of the ex-President of Georgia, the current head of the Odessa region Mikhail Saakashvili to the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine is unlikely, but can be, says Deputy Director of the Center of Ukrainian studies and Belorussii MSU Bogdan Bezpalko.

Previously, it was announced that the Petition to the President of Ukraine with the initiative to appoint the head of the Odessa, ex-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, Prime Minister of the state has received the required number of votes for consideration by the head of state Petro Poroshenko. The petition was filed by the administrators of the Internet representation of the head of Ukraine September 1, for the consideration of the President needed were 25 thousand signatures. Earlier, Saakashvili said he did not see himself at the head of the Ukrainian government.

"Previously, It would be absolutely incredible, but Earlier and the Appointment of Saakashvili Governor of Odessa region, too, it seemed impossible in practice. It can be, but while unlikely, " Bespalko said.

the specialist added that it is difficult to assess such things, but, " taking into account the number of foreigners in the Ukrainian government currently has been appointed and is performing their duties, it can be assumed that Saakashvili will become Prime Minister ".

"Will he be Prime Minister or not, will probably not solve even in Kiev, and in very different places now and Finance Saakashvili and his team in Odessa region ", - said Bezpalko.

"currently, the Ukrainian government is more reminiscent of a group of foreign managers that manage the territory entrusted to them by forces not related to Ukraine, neither geographically nor historically: not at all. By and large, It is this group of governors. Saakashvili under this role is well suited, but as long as Prime Minister and leader have always been people who were very honest linked with Ukraine, which has lived there for at least a significant part of life, " he finished.

Previously, citizens of foreign countries had occupied most of the key positions in the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers. So, the Minister of health of Ukraine was appointed by former Minister of labour, health and social protection of Georgia Alexander Kvitashvili, the Minister of economy of the Lithuanian aivaras abromavicius, Minister of Finance - a U.S. citizen of Ukrainian origin Natalie Jaresko.

These steps led to the criticism of the Ukrainian authorities both in the country and beyond its borders. Thus, the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov said that the dominance of foreign bureaucrats in the state government of Ukraine has deprived the country of independence. Polled Last news professionals believe that such Appointments are "unprecedented" and shows the final design of the country, which is controlled from the outside.

Destination very quickly criticized the Ukrainian party " Opposition bloc ". The people's Deputy Oleksandr Vilkul expressed the view that inviting foreigners, the government wants to absolve themselves of responsibility for the state of Affairs in the country.
