President: The message came to me in different forms, pretending that Georgian military personnel are preparing or have arrived from Ukraine to participate in the protest as military personnel, which is a direct provocation, such a thing does not happen, do not believe anyone

The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, takes the initiative of creating a fund to cover the fines of those arrested at the rally.­

As Zurabishvili pointed out at the briefing held in the Orbeliani palace, the representatives of the State Security Service are also present at the rally and it is necessary to protect oneself from provocations.

"Their defense, too, is that it may be necessary to create some kind of fund very soon. Today, there are still means, resources from various non-governmental organizations to cover the fines, but there may come a time when a great public effort is needed to create a fund and help these people. The help is expressed in another way, we protect them from provocations. I want to say directly, first of all, among you who are out on the streets, there may be representatives of the State Security Service who engage in provocations, you need to be careful with them, but I cannot teach you this, but I can warn you that I have received several messages in different forms, which refers to the fact that Georgian military personnel from Ukraine are preparing, or have arrived, to participate as military personnel in this protest, this is a direct It is a provocation, such a thing does not happen, no one should believe it, because it is directly directed against the protest, this is what worries the ruling party the most," said Zurabishvili.
