Mikhail Saakashvili’s New Forces Movement has said that Mykola Kulyk detained in Stary Sambir while trying to illegally export 100 kg of amber from Ukraine, has nothing to do with their party.

“We state that the person mentioned by the publication (by Interfax-Ukraine) has nothing to do with the New Forces Movement party,” the party’s press service said on Saturday.

On Friday, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported citing a source in the State Border Service the detention of an activist of the New Forces Movement, Mykola Kulyk, while trying to illegally export more than a centner of amber. Kulyk was the commandant of the tent camp near the Krakovets check point during Mikhail Saakashvili’s breaking through the state border.”
