The Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garbavshili called the condition for Saakashvili's return to Ukraine a full sentence in Georgia. At the same time, Irakli Garbavshili expressed confidence that the situation with Mikheil Saakashvili - his detention and further imprisonment - will not cause the deterioration of Ukrainian-Georgian relations.
