⚡️ UK Imposes Sanctions on Georgian Officials for Protest Crackdown
The UK has sanctioned five senior Georgian officials, including Interior Minister Vakhtang Gomelauri, over their roles in suppressing pro-European protests.
The sanctions, which include travel bans and asset freezes, were coordinated with the US. Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned the violence as a “shocking attack on democracy.”
