The calling of Mikhail

Petro Poroshenko introduced Mikhail Saakashvili as the new head of the Odessa region and handed him a Ukrainian passport.

The ex-president of Georgia received a mandate for serious reforms and personnel permutations. He promised to put things in order in the work of customs, engage in road repair, attract investments.

Odessa, a tidbit for the aggressor, having survived last year's tragedy, should be an example for all of Ukraine.

However, in the country and beyond, not everyone shares enthusiasm about a new purpose.
