00:00Georgia's president has refused to appear at the country's prosecutor's office after
00:05being summoned as part of a probe into alleged vote rigging in last weekend's election.
00:12It's not up to the president to provide the proofs that exist in the society. The non-governmental
00:19organization, the observers and regular citizens have been providing huge amounts of proofs
00:26that are every day coming out and are showing more and more how large, how systemic, how
00:32massive was the rigging of the elections.
00:37It comes as the European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has urged Georgian authorities
00:43to hold a transparent inquiry into the alleged irregularities, which he described as grave.
00:51Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky has said Russia has won in Georgia, warning it
00:56will do the same in Moldova unless the West ends its rhetoric on crossing Moscow's red
01:01lines.
