The Kremlin said on Wednesday that a draft law on "foreign agents" currently being debated by lawmakers in Georgia is being used to stoke anti-Russian sentiment and should not be called Russian.
Georgians have staged protests outside the parliament in Tbilisi this week against what they call "the Russian law," which they say will align the South Caucasus country more closely with Russia and draw it away from the European Union.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a daily call with reporters that the situation in Georgia was being used to stoke anti-Russian sentiment and that the United States, not Russia, was the country which had pioneered such legislation.
