In Tbilisi, opposition supporters are gathering for a rally against the results of the parliamentary elections.

Demonstrators are assembling near the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue.

According to the publication Paper Kartuli, there are currently around three hundred people. The avenue is not blocked at this time.

Earlier, all four opposition parties in Georgia that entered Parliament refused to recognize the election results.

The Central Election Commission declared victory for the ruling pro-Russian party, ‘Georgian Dream.’ It received 53.9% of the votes and secured a majority in Parliament.

Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili also refused to acknowledge the election results. She has called for a protest rally this evening.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained an FSB agent who, posing as a UN volunteer, was spying on defenders of Pokrovsk

The agent was a 34-year-old local volunteer with the UN World Food Programme, recruited by occupying forces. Under the guise of delivering humanitarian aid, he traveled around the district center and nearby villages, recording coordinates of Ukrainian infantry and artillery positions and passing the information to an FSB officer.

The perpetrator faces life imprisonment with asset confiscation.

😂  It seems that the sixth point of Zelenskyy's plan apparently deprives Russia of alcohol, after which the "seething" of the masses and revolution should begin

⚡️🟡 ✈️  At night, Ukrainian kind drones again struck two distilleries, this time in the Voronezh region

Previously, in the settlements of Anna and Novokhopersk, +240 km from the Ukrainian border

Good morning Resisters everywhere. Yesterday I kept a fire going all day. Then last night I deliberately let it go out. Folded all the blankets back on the bed too. And regretted that. Middle of the night pee, I got foot cramps. Woke up this morning a bit cold. Mid 50s outside. But starting today, 3 days of 80s.

Fixing dinner from scratch so this is Goodnight everyone.

The attacks on russian distilleries in the Tula and Tambov regions have caused much irony, but there is a strategic goal behind them.

Aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchinsky explains the important role of alcohol in aviation.

The targeted strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on distilleries directly affect the activity of russian tactical aviation, which uses Crimean airfields to attack Ukrainian cities.

Destruction of distillery products can significantly limit the frequency of sorties and the effectiveness of air strikes, especially during the winter period.

The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, refused to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections in the country

Zurabishvili noted that "Russian elections" were held in Georgia and announced an opposition rally to be held on October 28 at 7:00 p.m. Previously, the opposition parties and coalitions also did not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections

Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has called on citizens to take to the streets in protest, saying the ruling party used widespread fraud to win Saturday’s nationwide election.

In a speech alongside opposition leaders on Sunday, she said: “I do not accept this election. It cannot be accepted, accepting it would be accepting Russia into this country, the acceptance of Georgia’s subordination to Russia,” she said, inviting supporters to gather outside the country’s parliament at 7.00 p.m. on Monday to oppose the result, which she said had been rigged.

“We became witnesses and victims of a Russia special operation,” added Zourabichvili, who has become one of the most prominent critics of the ruling Georgian Dream party. “They stole our right to choice, they carried out a Russian election.”

Opposition parties cried foul after preliminary results showed a lead for the ruling Georgian Dream party, which took 53 percent of the vote compared the opposition bloc’s 38 percent.

The opposition Coalition for Change said their MPs would not take up their parliamentary mandates because the election results were rigged.

Violence erupted at multiple polling stations in Georgia on Saturday as voters cast their ballots. Observer organizations, such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), reported concerns over vote-buying, “imbalances in financial resources, a divisive campaign atmosphere, and recent legislative amendments.”

The National Democratic Institute’s international observer mission noted that the pre-election period was compromised by widespread threats, harassment and in some cases violence, affecting voters, activists and political actors.

The election is widely regarded as a pivotal for Georgia’s prospects of joining the European Union. Critics have slammed the government’s increasingly authoritarian trajectory and close ties with Russia.

Georgia’s EU membership prospects were stalled after the Georgian government adopted a controversial Russian-style “foreign agents” law, despite warnings that it could jeopardize Georgia’s bid to join the bloc.

In the lead-up to the election, the ruling party had also pledged to ban virtually all opposition parties, and has passed a string of Russian-style laws branding Western-backed human rights groups and media outlets as ‘foreign agents'.

A joint statement declaring the vote was “neither free nor fair” was signed by more than a dozen European and Canadian politicians, including the chairs of parliamentary foreign affairs committees in Germany, Lithuania, Ireland and Ukraine. “Against this background, the European Union cannot recognise the result,” it reads.

However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán moved to quickly congratulate Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and the Georgian Dream party “on their overwhelming victory at the parliamentary elections.” Orbán will visit Tbilisi on Oct. 28, the Georgian government announced, in a move likely to rile follow EU leaders.

European Council President Charles Michel decried the alleged intimidation and interference, and said “these alleged irregularities must be seriously clarified and addressed.”

“What a disgrace,” wrote Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže on X, commenting on the reports from the OSCE. “I applaud the Georgian people who came out to vote en masse despite intimidation. Their wish for a European future must be respected by any Georgian government,” Braže said.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna also expressed his concerns over “reports of irregularities,” writing on X: “Closely following the evaluations of international & local observers.”

🟡🔥  Epic footage of the unsuccessful attempt by Russians to storm Ukrainian positions in a passenger car

Kind of makes you wonder if any of their officers even has an 80 IQ

Is Russia building up to an invasion of Poland? What a mistake that would be.

"Poles have captured the Kursk region" - Russians are told on Russian TV.

"Polish AFU mercenaries occupied the houses of the residents of Sudzha, and those residents who stayed were hanged right under the bridge and shot."

Russian propagandists are switching to Poland?

"He and his wife were always there. Whenever I met them, they were always holding hands or under the arm. They were smiling, cheerful, friendly, very hardworking. They tried with all their might to give their children everything so that they would never need anything," she said. fellow villager Sofia Goncharova, who knew Serhiy and Yulia since childhood.

Serhiy Ovsyanka is survived by his parents, brother, two sons and other relatives.

Ukrainian soldiers took a brief rest, but the calm didn't last long as they heard unfamiliar sounds nearby. Sensing someone was close, they called out, "Are you one of ours?" In response, they heard a confused Russian "Huh?". The situation became clear immediately, and a close-quarters firefight ensued, ending with a Russian soldier receiving a "lead gift" in the back. The encounter took place in Luhansk Oblast, underscoring the unpredictable and intense nature of combat in the region. @ukrainejournal
