MOSCOW, May 31 /TASS/. “Pathological dislike of Russia” rather than managerial skills and talents stands behind the appointment of ex-Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili as the governor of Ukraine’s Odessa region. It is designed to increase and strengthen the anti-Russian course of the Ukrainian authorities, Russian lawmaker Konstantin Kosachev told TASS on Saturday commenting on the Ukrainian president’s latest personnel decision.

Kosachev, the head of the Russian Federation Council Committee for International Affairs, said that the true motives behind Saakshvili’s appointment differed from official reasons (achievements in fighting corruption and facilitating administrative procedures). The more so that his achievements in the post of Georgian president are not so simple and univocal and are openly sad in many cases, Kosachev said.

“A conclusion which is coming to mind is that personal qualities and merits of Mr. Saakashvili were not the main reason behind this personnel decision. It’s his pathological dislike of Russia that was decisive,” the Russian lawmaker said adding that Saakashvili’s “bitterness” would “dictate a very tough style of rule” and “would strengthen the anti-Russian course of the Ukrainian authorities which is largely directed against ethnic Russians.

Saakashvili’s appointment as the governor of Odessa region, according to Kosachev, does not fit in into the logic of the country’s unification and departure from the solution of problems by force. “It is a new signal that the Kiev authorities are still aimed at confrontation rather than compromise with part of their own population, which is opposed to the government in Kiev,” Kosachev concluded.

Georgia Expresses Sympathy to Ukrainian People Over Saakashvili Appointment

Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Saganelidze noted that “this is a very serious mistake on the part of Ukrainian authorities.”

“I sympathize with the Ukrainian people, who are very near and dear to my heart, and especially to the people of Odessa,” Saganelidze added, commenting on Saturday’s announcement by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that he had appointed Saakashvili governor of the southern region.

Saganelidze noted that “God willing, Mikhail Saakashvili would undergo an ideological change, and we would deal with a completely different person, although for a man like this, I think it’s impossible.”

Commenting on his long-standing opposition to Saakashvili, Saganelidze noted that he was convinced that Ukrainians would soon come to know Saakashvili for who he really is. “When Saakashvili broke into the hall of parliament in 2003, I was against it, the PM noted.

“At that time, many had criticized me for failing to stand with him, but I insisted that this deranged person will not bring the country any good. It is likely that [some] years will likely pass, and the Ukrainian people will become convinced of this, just as happened in the case of the Georgian people,” Saganelidze added.

Saakashvili, appointed Saturday, noted that he would like to see Odessa become the “capital of the Black Sea.” For his part, Poroshenko stated that among Saakashvili’s main tasks will be fighting oligarchy and corruption. Saakashvili has been a fugitive from justice in Georgia since 2013, after Georgian prosecutors charged him with numerous offences, from abuse of power to misappropriation of funds to over $5 million in embezzlement charges.
