Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeals on May 11 fully upheld an appeal by an associate of ex-Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, ruling that he was unlawfully deported from Ukraine in October. It is possible that he could now return to Ukraine, once his lawyer clarifies the legal situation.

The appeal was filed by the Saakashvili associate, Mikhail Abzianidze, against a March 29 ruling by the Kyiv Administrative District Court.
