The appointment of the ex-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili to the post of head of the Odessa region questioned the sanity of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and can be a problem for the Ukrainian leader, said the journalist of the financial times, Tony Barber.
According to Barbera, Poroshenko has appointed Saakashvili, that helped to make the battle with the three challenges currently facing Ukraine, "the great economic deadlock, institutional corruption and the fight against the militias of Donbass, RIA" Novosti ".



along with this "over the 2004-2013 as President of Georgia Saakashvili has shown impressive, but a little crazy reformist energy in achieving what he believed - that His country is destined to embark on Pro-Western path (development)," says the journalist." His modernizing zeal combined with indomitable self-confidence, as well as unpredictable and prone to incorrect estimates sometimes borders on madness " - such is the characteristic of Saakashvili gives in his article Barber. In addition, the analyst notices that Saakashvili is not the 1st foreigner to be invited Poroshenko to senior positions, but he was the 1st foreigner, who took control of the Ukrainian region, and this, in my opinion, the beginning of questions, " says Barber. Also Barber points to the strategic importance of the Odessa region, located between the Crimea ceded to Russia by the results of the referendum in 2014, and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. As reported by certain media, Saakashvili decided to give the city port in the use of Western companies. Remember, the first day of the weekend President Poroshenko officially announced the appointment of Saakashvili to the post of head of the Odessa region. In the Georgian Parliament told that the Appointment of Saakashvili by the Governor of the Odessa region was the mistake of the Ukrainian authorities. Thus the people's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada and former head of Odessa region Nikolay Skorik said that the Appointment of Saakashvili to the post of head of the region was another error of Kiev.
