Georgia election: President disputes results, accuses Russia of interference

Thousands of protesters in Georgia gathered outside the country’s parliament on Monday, after the country’s president and opposition parties called for protests against the results of a disputed election. The country’s government and electoral commission have said the vote was free and fair, while election observers have said there were significant violations. “We were not just witnesses, but also victims of what can only be described as a Russian special operation. A new form of hybrid warfare waged against our people and our country,” Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili said.
