SNIPERS trained in Ukraine have allegedly arrived in Georgia amid mass protests against the result of last weekend’s parliamentary election.

Thousands of Georgians massed outside the parliament building in Tbilisi on Monday night, demanding the annulment of last weekend’s election, which President Salome Zourabichvili has alleged was rigged with Russian help.

Russian news agency Tass reported on Monday that a source in the region has alleged that snipers trained in Ukraine are arriving in Georgia to “organise provocations” during the anti-government protests.
