Former Prime Minister, leader of the For Georgia party Giorgi Gakharia calls on the Georgian government to convene the Security Council and temporarily close the borders with Russia.

According to him, the danger is real.

"I call on the Government of Georgia to convene the Security Council and protect the country's interests! Taking into account the unpredictable situation and in order to protect the security of the state, I call on them to temporarily close the borders with Russia.

The danger is real! The state border of Georgia - Larsi border crossing point is the closest point to the escalation zone.

Timely action is needed to maintain peace," Gakharia wrote.

For information, the leader of "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin accused the Ministry of Defense of Russia of striking the positions of "Wagner" and said yesterday that "they are going clarify things" with the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu.

According to Prigozhin, "this is not a military coup, this is a march of justice". He calls it "informational provocation".

According to the media, after Prigozhin's statements, armored vehicles appeared on the streets of Rostov. Later, another statement of Prigozhin was published, according to which "Wagner" has taken control of the Rostov-on-Don military facilities and airfield.

At the same time, the Russian state agency "Tass" reports, based on law enforcement agencies, that enhanced security measures have been taken in Moscow, and state buildings have been placed under enhanced protection.
