"The prosecution's point of view is mainly presented, the position of the authorities is minimally reflected. All this resembles the handwriting of the British special services, who like to provoke political crises with the help of information stuffing, to aggravate the situation in those countries that they have chosen as their target. Perhaps they realized that the Georgian opposition was running out of steam, so they decided, as they say, to throw some firewood at them," he said.

Earlier on December 2, the speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, demanded an apology over reports of the use of banned chemicals in the country. He called what was happening a hybrid war against Tbilisi, as well as fierce propaganda and the use of false narratives.

On December 1, the BBC Corporation published an article claiming that Georgian security forces used the banned chemical kamit during the dispersal of pro-European rallies at the end of last year. The compound was allegedly added to water, which was then used by water cannons. The Georgian ruling party categorically denied all charges.
