Panicking Putin sees demonstrators storm Parliament

Vladimir Putin is facing unrest as protesters stormed the Parliament in the Abkhazia region.

Abkhazia, located in Georgia but recognized by Russia as an independent republic, has seen large-scale protests as lawmakers debated controversial new legislation.

The proposed law aims to make it easier for Russian investors to acquire property in the region. However, anti-Kremlin activists view it as an attempt at indirect colonization.

During the protests, a truck rammed into the gates of the building, while demonstrators hurled stones at police. Overwhelmed, the officers gave way, allowing the protesters to storm the building.

In the aftermath of the rebellion, the region's Kremlin-backed leader, Aslan Bzhania, announced a suspension of the legislative discussions.

"The presidential administration is preparing a document to withdraw from parliament the draft law on ratification.The decision has been taken with the goal of stabilising the situation in the republic," its press service said on Telegram.
