“I have a ticket, but I have already turned through my lawyer to the head of the SBU ... to lift the ban, which Poroshenko illegally imposed against me, so that I could fly in and defend myself,” he said.
He noted that he very much "wants to be in Kiev."
“I really want to be part of a big transformation as an ordinary citizen of Ukraine, as an ordinary Ukrainian fan,” he added.
Earlier, Saakashvili stated that he intended to return to Ukraine after the victory of Vladimir Zelensky in the second round of the presidential elections.
According to the CEC of Ukraine, after processing 5.59% of the protocols, Zelensky is gaining 71.87% of the votes, Petro Poroshenko - 25.8%.
