Dozens are hospitalized after massive protests broke out across Georgia following the pro-Putin government's move halting decadeslong talks on joining the EU amid increasing ties with Russia.

Georgia's president said Monday that mass pro-EU protests involving tens of thousands of people showed no sign of stopping after police fired water cannon and tear gas on a fourth night of demonstrations.

A third night of protests in the Georgian capital against the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union has left 44 people hospitalized

Large crowds of protesters took to the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia for the fourth night in a row, to demonstrate against the country’s decision to suspend EU membership talks. Clashes between demonstrators and police also took place earlier this year.

Georgia’s premier ruled out holding talks with the opposition after four nights of violent clashes in the capital helped propel the lari to a two-year low against the dollar.
