Russia does not intend to comply with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling requiring Georgian citizens to pay over 250 million euros, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated. When asked about the possibility of improving Russian-Georgian relations if the payment were made, Peskov noted that the Kremlin views this issue as a separate matter.

The State Security Service of Georgia reported that civil unrest is being planned in the country with the financial support of foreign countries. The customers are Georgy Lortkipanidze (former deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the presidency of Mikheil Saakashvili) and the commander of the volunteer Georgian Legion in Ukraine, Mamuka Mamulashvili.
According to the statement of the State Security Service, unrest with the aim of changing power in the country is planned in October-December of this year - when it becomes known whether it will receive EU candidate status. According to the service, preparations are underway for a large group of Georgians fighting in Ukraine near the Polish-Ukrainian border. The organizers are considering the possibility of implementing a scenario similar to the Euromaidan in Kyiv in 2014.
