KIEV, Feb. 22 – Odessa Regional Governor and leader of the "Rukh za ochyschennia" [Cleaning Up Ukraine] anti-corruption movement, Mikheil Saakashvili sees early parliamentary elections as the only way out of the current political crisis in Ukraine.

"There is one way out: snap elections to the Rada... Only a complete renewal of the political class in Ukraine," he said at an anti-corruption forum in Chernivtsi on Monday.

He said that "there was a coup, revenge – the counter-revolution has already taken place – the government succumbed to the oligarchs."
