"These elections are illegitimate, and nothing can change that," Zourabichvili wrote on X, shortly after giving a press conference in the capital Tbilisi at which she described the alleged vote rigging as "a Russian special operation" and "a new form of hybrid warfare waged against our people and our country."

"We reject Russia's infiltration and occupation," the president wrote on social media, adding that the pro-Western opposition parties who contested the election "stand with me to defend our European future and the Georgian Charter."

Zourabichvili called on Georgians to gather in protest of the election results on Monday evening on Rustaveli Avenue -- Tbilisi's main thoroughfare and home to the country's parliament

President “Victoria Nuland” must smell a “Maidan” in Georgia in 2024 just like the one in Ukraine in 2014.

Russia, Russia, Russia

All the time and everywhere.

Them there Russians are some more smart dudes to cause all this havoc in every corner of the planet!

Why, heck, them Russians probably caused them hurricanes that hit us so hard, made us go $35 trillion in debt, caused that global warming to burn up the planet and now they are about to get Trump elected again. Oh no!

It looks like these whackos would get a new story after so many years of this incredible propaganda.

Bush backs Ukraine and Georgia for Nato membership

April 1, 2008

George Bush this morning said he “strongly supported” Ukraine's attempt to join Nato, and warned he would not allow Russia to veto its membership bid.

Speaking in Kiev after a meeting with Ukraine's president, Viktor Yushchenko, the US president said both post-Soviet Ukraine and Georgia should be allowed to join the alliance – despite vehement objections from Russia.

Shvili as the end of name means child or son.

just like the Nordic “-sson” and “-dottir” or the Semitic “bin / ben” and the Celtic (Mac or Mc)

Oh yes, and in Russian the suffix -ov also means „son of“ in old Russian, just as -ić in ancient Serbian and Croat.
Thus „Ivanov“ in Russian and „Jovanović“ in Serbian or Croatioan both meant originally „son of John“, though in present- day language use, they have come to mean „descendant of John, belonging to John‘s family“.

And Stalin‘s last name „Dzugashvili“, literally means „son (or descendant) of the smith“, Dzuga meaning „smith“ in Georgian.

Maybe Stalin‘s alias, meaning the Man of Steel, was a pun on his real name‘s original meaning.
