"Saakashvili for Ukraine prime minister?" Is the title of an article about the situation in Ukraine published in the newspaper Japan Times .

The author writes that after 24 years of independence and two revolutions, the promise of reforms that would turn Ukraine from a kleptocracy enabled by Soviet-era institutions into, say, Poland still hasn’t materialized. Popular patience is wearing thin.
So three months ago, President Petro Poroshenko sent his friend (and Russia’s bete noire) Mikheil Saakashvili to see if he could sort out the country’s largest and most corrupt region, Odessa.
According to the journalist, the former president and his team of young reformers are trying to solve problems, not only in Odessa, but also in the whole of Ukraine.

The author says that with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk is so unpopular that he has decided against fielding his party in nationwide municipal elections next month, a replacement may soon be needed. Saakashvili may be the only potential candidate whose popularity is rising, and who could afford to take the radical steps required.

The article also mentions petition that has already been signed by 30 thousand citizens, the quantity required for the consideration of Mikheil Saakashvili for the position of the Prime minister.
