Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, whose Ukrainian citizenship and passport was revoked after his relations with the country’s president fell apart, entered Ukraine after his supporters broke through a cordon of border servicemen.
Saakashvili said in an interview with private TV channel NewsOne that he is heading to a western city of Lviv after he spent a day trying to get into Ukraine from neighboring Poland.
