Mikheil Saakashvili's health has significantly deteriorated. Personally, as the Ombudsman of Ukraine, I consider it necessary to make sure that his life is not in danger, Dmytro Lubinets, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada, writes on Telegram.

The Ombudsman of Ukraine calls on the Georgian authorities to allow access to Mikheil Saakashvili.

"I call on the Georgian authorities to allow me to meet with the Ukrainian citizen, who is currently in the medical center Vivamed in Tbilisi.

The critical situation in which Ukrainian citizen Mikheil Saakashvili is now causes alarm and concern. Therefore, the Georgian side should provide him with appropriate medical assistance and appropriate conditions for placement in a medical institution, or facilitate his transfer to European or American medical institutions.

Ukraine, as a democratic and modern European state, will pay maximum attention to the protection of the rights and interests of citizens living abroad!" wrote the Ombudsman.
