DISINFO: Georgian Russophobia is part of the US-waged hybrid war against Russia

SUMMARY

Georgia is a Russophobic state. The Russophobia of Georgians is one of the components of the US-waged hybrid and information war against Russia.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russophobia and the US.

The current protests in Georgia were a spontaneous public reaction calling for the resignation of key national officials after Russian State Duma Deputy Sergei Gavrilov sat in the Georgian parliamentary speaker's seat while addressing a council of lawmakers from predominantly Orthodox Christian countries - the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO). Gavrilov is known for his support to Russia's aggression in Georgia's Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions.

Russia continues its military presence in both Abkhazia and South Ossetia in violation of international law and commitments undertaken by Russia under the 12 August 2008 agreement, mediated by the European Union.
