Saakashvili: Supporters free ex-Georgia leader from Ukraine police

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42236122

I suspect there is more to this than the BBC report. Yesterday and today there have morning protests at the court close to where I am. Noisy but quite small, I have paid little attention as they are frequent occurences. In fact they might have little to do with M. Saakashvili.

But today I understood from a neighbour that there are new blockades at Maidan.

I believe you are quite mistaken

Saakashvili is clearly making a play for Poroshenko's job - or at least deposing him.

He has become the new 'hope' for those in Ukraine hoping for a leader that wants to stamp out the rule of Oligarch control

I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

I am loath to start a new topic, but this might be worthy. As far as I am concerned let it stay here.

Nadiia Savchenko, is back in the news. Not in a good way I should note.

from Wikipedia:
The charge of preparing a terrorist attack in Ukraine
On 15 March 2018, the Attorney General of Ukraine Lutsenko charged Nadja Savchenko with the charge of preparing a terrorist attack on ukrainian parliament[92]. Lutsenko said that the Investigative Committee has irrefutable evidence of this. Savchenko is accused to have personally planned an attack with mortars and hand grenades at the parliament. Survivors in the plenary hall should be shot with automatic weapons. At the same time, an immunity annulment petition was filed in order to prosecute and arrest them

As background here are some links;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadiya_Savchenko

https://www.unian.info/politics/10050365-savchenko-claims-she-s-been-warned-about-her-elimination-three-times.html

Anyways it is seems to be business as usual in Ukraine.
