US sanctions Bidzina Ivanishvili for undermining Georgia's democracy and aligning with Russia.

The US has imposed sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili, founder of Georgia's ruling Georgian Dream party, for undermining democratic institutions and aligning with Russia. Ivanishvili's actions have enabled human rights abuses and restricted freedoms, derailing Georgia's move towards the EU. The sanctions come amid protests against Georgia's pause on EU accession talks. The EU has condemned the crackdown on protesters, reaffirming support for Georgia's European future.
