Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili and Ukrainian MP from the ruling Servant of the People party Liza Yasko have announced their relationship on Facebook earlier this evening.

The video was recorded before Saakashvili's departure to Georgia.
We are starting a new life, a new family. This is our amazing new relationship. I am very grateful for our past but we are having a fresh start, the two of us, Liza and me", said Saakashvili in a video.
Yasko captioned the video with this words:
Love and fight for your state is the most noble thing! And I support his fight. Because only real fighters with such a big heart and love for their state can change the world! Only people like Misha are ready to risk their homeland. I fully support him".

Five hours earlier she checked into a location in Truskavets, Ukraine, in the same city where the ruling Georgian Dream MP Mamuka Mdinaradze said that Saakashvili was instead of Batumi.
