Propagandists are spreading information via anonymous Telegram channels claiming that the commanders of Georgian units, which are part of the military committee of the Caucasus Union, have allegedly decided to return to Georgia, awaiting a signal from President Salome Zurabishvili to protect the population. 

This is false, reports the Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security. Its experts found out that the president immediately refuted this information, calling it a provocation. The following day, the Georgian Legion also denied these claims, emphasizing their unwavering support for Ukraine, where they have been fighting since 2014. They stressed that their fight against a common enemy continues. On December 3, Zurabishvili praised the official denial by the legion, noting the importance of such actions in preventing manipulation. Meanwhile, Russian propaganda continues to operate according to its typical scenario, spreading fake news to distort the truth.

By spreading fake news of this kind, Russia seeks to reinforce conspiracy theories that the protests in Georgia are allegedly orchestrated artificially with Ukraine's involvement. These actions are part of a broader information warfare strategy aimed at manipulating public opinion both inside Russia and internationally.
