Fugitive Saakashvili calls for second Maidan to get rid of Poroshenko

FUGITIVE former Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili has urged Ukrainians to stage a second Maidan sit-in to demand the impeachment of his foe President Petro Poroshenko.

Mr Saakashvili made the call to up to several thousand people gathered in Kiev’s Independence Square on Sunday evening to put pressure on the parliament to pass an impeachment motion.

He urged them to occupy the square from Sunday onwards if MPs do not yield to their demands to oust the billionaire confectionary tycoon.
