Irish journalist Brian McDonald has compared the test facing former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili as the head of the State Administration of the Odessa region to the battle of Waterloo, which put an end to the career of Napoleon Bonaparte. According to the journalist, this appointment appears to be "the most bizarre step of Poroshenko."
"This venture will have unpleasant consequences for the Ukrainian president. Saakashvili led Georgia like a feudal state. In Odessa, a similar policy is impossible," the journalist of Russia Today warned today, recalling that the local legislative bodies are unlikely to be obedient to foreign managers, and the tactics of capturing the opposition television stations in Odessa, where all the television stations already belong to team Poroshenko, is not working.
