Mikhail Saakashvili was right at the time. This was stated by Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov.
"We must admit that Saakashvili, who stated this back in 2016, was generally right about the fact that the leaders of Ukraine are leading corruption. This is confirmed by many facts, and recently by a high—profile NABU investigation. So here Saakashvili hit the nail on the head. What to do was, of course, not difficult — many people knew about it. But still," the politician wrote in his telegram channel.
Mikhail Saakashvili headed the Odessa Regional State Administration from May 30, 2015 to November 9, 2016.
