A differentiated insight into Georgian politics by the highly influential think tank Carnegie Endowment. Summary below and link after that.
The article states that the Georgian government does not show any signs of being linked to Moscow. The main criticism that could be brought up in that context would be the government's intention to build a pragmatic relationship with Moscow, but that is nothing specific to the current government, and it's understandable looking at the geography, the past events and the current situation in Ukraine.
The protesters are still rightfully dissatisfied with their government because while the European Commission granted candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, it did not so to Georgia. Instead, it issued Georgia with a list of twelve recommendations.
The ruling party Georgian Dream is facing the difficult question of how to secure a European future without angering Moscow and still remain in power. It’s obvious that Brussels is not happy with everything in today’s Georgia, but there is no alternative force in the country on which it could rely.
Georgian Dream looks set to continue its balancing act between meeting the requirements of the EU while indulging its own authoritarian tendencies against the splintered and unconstrustrive opposition, which stirs things up frequently in the country and potentially provokes Moscow.

In March this year, 7 Indians were tricked into the Russian army because they were accused of immigration law violation and threatened with jail time. ZDF followed up on this recently and got reports from one of those Indians that they're in Ukraine close to front and are under drone attacks. If they don't follow the commands they're beaten.
At least indirectly related, a human trafficker was arrested in India for luring Indians into Russia under false promises where they end up in the Russian army.
However, the topic plays no role in Indian domestic politics.

Just to clarify, following the Chechen scenario in Ukraine means killing Zelensky. I think that Ruzzia will try to do it after the issue of warrant. They did absolutely same steps in Chechnya before killing their leaders. I am more than sure about that. Putin already showed to everyone that he made this decision…
Not sure if he would be successful with it though…
