This is an uprising of the whole country, I have never seen or heard of such a large-scale uprising in all big or small cities of Georgia. Such a statement the President of Georgia made in an interview with France Inter.

“Today we are witnessing Russian repression, which is carried out using Special Forces and which are clearly under the influence of narcotic substances. Their brutality shows this. They are being given “amphetamines” or I don’t know some other substance that makes them resistant, because it’s the 5th night this has been going on.

Our young people are also very resilient and should be in order to withstand this level of brutality”, - said Salome Zourabichvili.
