Opponents president on the street in Kiev

In the Ukrainian capital Kiev, thousands of people have taken to the streets on Sunday to demand the resignation of President Petro Poroshenko.

The stateless Saakashvili, married to the Dutch Sandra Roelofs, has been sentenced to three years in prison in Georgia. During his reign in 2004 to 2013 he misused his power, the court ruled. Ukrainian authorities still have to decide whether it will be delivered.

In Ukraine, Saakashvili is accused of involvement in a criminal organization. The politician was arrested earlier, but is now walking around freely because a judge refused to put him under house arrest.
