Georgian ambassador to Ukraine leaves Kyiv

Georgia's Ambassador to Ukraine Giorgi Zakarashvili has left Kyiv, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.

Giorgi Zakarashvili was forced to leave Kyiv by the decision of the Ukrainian president, Caliber.Az reports citing Georgian media.

Former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili looked emaciated on July 3 when participating via video link in a Tbilisi City Court hearing involving a case about the dispersal of a rally in 2007. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later instructed the country’s Foreign Ministry to summon Georgian Ambassador to Kyiv Giorgi Zakarashvili and tell him to leave the country in 48 hours for consultations on the situation regarding Saakashvili, who also holds Ukrainian citizenship.
