Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev said that an attempted revolution is taking place in neighboring Georgia.
Protests broke out in Georgia against the country's government's decision to suspend negotiations on joining the European Union.
The former Russian president said in Telegram that Georgia "is quickly moving down the Ukrainian path, into a dark abyss. Usually, such things end very badly."
More than 44 people were injured during protests in Georgia that broke out after the country's government announced it was suspending negotiations on joining the European Union.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia announced that 27 protesters, 16 police officers and one journalist were hospitalized.
During the previous night, several tens of thousands of protesters gathered in front of the parliament, throwing stones and setting off fireworks, while the police used force to disperse them.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobahidze warned that "any violation of the law will be met with the full severity of the law."
