Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announces sanctions on 19 members of the Georgian government.

He accuses them of "surrendering" the country to Russian control.

The sanctions come after seven nights of massive anti-government protests in the South Caucasus nation.

Pro-Western demonstrators accuse the Georgian Dream government of rigging October 's parliamentary elections.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists Monday that Russia "has not interfered and does not intend to interfere" in events, saying the government in Tbilisi was merely taking necessary steps to restore order. Dmitry Medvedev -- formerly Russia 's president and prime minister, now serving as the deputy chair of Russia 's Security Council -- wrote on Telegram that Georgia was "moving rapidly along the Ukrainian path, into the dark abyss."
