The President of Georgia fears that the Kremlin is using relocants to take over the country

Salome Zurabishvili fears that Russian President Putin may use relocants to launch a “doctrine for the protection of Russian-speaking citizens” and start a war. She stated this in an interview with a reporter from the American television channel CBS (CBS).

“Their easy path here is hybrid warfare. It’s very unnerving when in your own country there are people who speak the language of the enemy and believe that they are at home,” said the Georgian president. According to Zurabishvili, Russia in the future may use the presence of its citizens in the republic to seize power under the pretext of “the favorite doctrine of protecting Russian-speaking citizens.” At the same time, the president does not have the authority to close the border to the entry of Russians, of whom more than 100 thousand arrived in the country after the start of the “SVO”.

Earlier it became known that Russia was transferring warships from Sevastopol to the Abkhazian Ochamchira. The Georgian opposition accuses the country's authorities of passivity against the backdrop of Russian plans to create a base for the Black Sea Fleet in occupied Abkhazia.
