❗️The US is extremely dissatisfied with developments in Georgia on the eve of the October 26 parliamentary elections, and is preparing a “color revolution” in the country, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported.

Despite US efforts, Georgian opposition forces remain fragmented, and the coalitions they create are very fragile, the SVR noted.

In this regard, the US intends to significantly increase pressure on the Georgian authorities in the weeks remaining before the elections in order to weaken the ruling Georgian Dream party’s electoral position as much as possible.

In addition, at the future “Tbilisi Maidan,” they plan to make "evidence of falsifications" public during the voting, announce the non-recognition of the election results, and demand a change of power, the SVR emphasized.

A scandal erupted due to a carnival video featuring a participant twerking in front of a police officer, who did not react at all.
