The former president of Georgia and the former governor of Odesa, Mikhail Saakashvili, said that he was preparing to "liberate the country from Moldovan and Donetsk oligarchs".

As he said, all the accusations against him are lies and have an exclusively political character, Sputnik reports.

"Former prime minister of Georgia and billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili fears my arrival in Georgia, since Georgians, who now see the difference between my rule and oligarchic oppression, would take to the streets and shelter them the moment I appear. However, I have other plans and that is related to Ukraine, I want to free them from Moldovan and Donetsk oligarchs," he wrote on his Facebook profile.

However, Saakashvili cannot currently return to either Georgia or Ukraine. He lost his Georgian citizenship back in 2015, while at the end of July, the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, took away his Ukrainian citizenship as well.

Currently, Saakashvili is traveling in Europe - until recently he was in Poland and Lithuania, and his last destination was Hungary.

As he recently said, he intends to fight in court in order to retain his Ukrainian citizenship and continue his political career in that country.
