The Interfax-Ukraine that it was told by Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko.

"If I earlier stated that Saakashvili has a status that makes it impossible for him to be deported or extradited in any way, now the State Migration Service denied him the status of a refugee, according to which he wrote a statement, and Mr. Saakashvili, as always, did not apply to the court challenging that decision", Lutsenko told reporters.
