From Statesman to Stateless: Saakashvili enters Ukraine despite revoked citizenship

Georgia’s former president Mikhail Saakashvili has made an unusual return to Ukraine – entering the country illegally on Sunday.
Saakashvili recently became stateless, after having had his Ukrainian citizenship revoked by the country’s president. Ukrainian police say he will now face criminal charges for illegally crossing the border – something he denies doing.

RT’s correspondent Kate Partige looks at how the two Western darlings – who were once the closest of allies – became rivals.
