Levan Varshalomidze was detained in Kazakhstan while crossing the border at the airport. Such a statement made Levan Bezhashvili, member of the United National Movement. As he added, the detention is likely linked to information sent from Russia regarding a criminal case related to Varshalomidze’s political consulting activities with the Ukrainian government.

“There is a threat of extradition, so all our resources are engaged to ensure proper communication with the Ukrainian and Kazakh governments. Russia’s motives are clear.

Therefore, it is crucial to facilitate the release of Levan Varshalomidze from unlawful detention”, - said Levan Bezhashvili.
