The U.S. State Department has been informed of the expulsion of a number of Georgian citizens from Ukraine and insists on the need to avoid actions that can be regarded as politically motivated.
“We are convinced of the importance of Ukraine avoiding actions in the field of the rule of law, which may seem politically motivated,” the State Department spokesman said in response to a request by the Georgian service of the Voice of America, which is posted on the website of the Ukrainian service of Voice of America.
As it is known, several citizens of Georgia were deported from Ukraine in October-November.
In November ex-President of Georgia and leader of Ukraine’s Movement of New Forces Party Mikheil Saakashvili said State Security Service of Ukraine chief Valeriy Heletei took part in the illegal deportation of several Georgian citizens from Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Valeria Lutkovska said that the deportation of Georgian citizens from Ukraine in October and November took place with violations of Ukrainian legislation and relevant instructions. She also said the National Police to falsify documents and facts on these issues.
