Frail jailed ex-president Saakashvili alleges poisoning; Ukraine demands release

Former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili appeared emaciated in court, claiming he has been poisoned while imprisoned.
Saakashvili's weight has reportedly dropped to 60 kilograms (132 pounds), half of what it was when he was arrested in October 2021.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of using Georgia's government to kill Saakashvili and demanded his release for medical treatment.
Zelensky called Saakashvili's treatment a "public execution" and urged Georgian authorities to allow Saakashvili to come to Kyiv for medical treatment.
Saakashvili is serving a six-year sentence for abuse of power, which he claims is politically motivated.
