Odesa Regional Governor Mikheil Saakashvili has demanded that the country's president and government form a government of people's trust.

“We demand, first of all, that this collusion and conspiracy about government be stopped. I am urging people’s deputies not to vote for the new government under the conditions that have been proposed,” Saakashvili said at a press conference in Odesa on Monday.

“They want to force on Ukraine a government which, from the start, will be incapable, corrupt, serve oligarchs and clans,” he said. “I join the initiative proposed by Kyiv mayor, and my friend, Vitali Klitschko, to set up a government of people’s trust and bring in people who are trusted by the public,” Saakashvili said.
