🇬🇪🚛➡️🇷🇺 The truck that exploded on the Crimean bridge arrived in Russia from Georgia.

This was announced by the chairman of the investigative committee of the Russian Federation Bastrykin at a meeting with Putin: "We have already established the route of the lorry which exploded. It drove through Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia, and the Krasnodar Territory".
❗️From Bulgaria, the cargo arrived by sea to the Georgian port Poti, then went to Armenia, where the cargo was cleared according to the rules of the customs union - this is a typical route for cargo traveling to Russia. Then the truck again drove into Georgia, and from it - to the territory of the Russian Federation through the Upper Lars checkpoint. According to the Russian authorities, the masterminds, perpetrators and customers of the explosion were Ukrainian special services, but they were assisted by citizens of Russia and foreign countries.

🇬🇪💥🚛🇷🇺 Explosives, allegedly used during the blowing up of the Kerch bridge, were brought to Russia in a lorry with Georgian car plates.

Information about this is spread by a number of Russian media.
The opinions of users in Georgian social networks on this news were divided:
📍some rejoice that Georgia managed to take part in military events at least in a such way
📍some ask for clarification and await additional facts
📍some are wary and even scared that this could lead to hostile actions towards Georgia by the Russian Federation

🇬🇪❗️🇺🇦 Georgian president Salome Zourabichvili condemned the latest Russian strikes across Ukraine.

"Terrible news of bombing of Kyiv and other cities. An indiscriminate attack on civilians meant to destroy, to instill fear. But the world has seen the determination of the Ukrainian nation. All of Georgia stands with Ukraine" - she wrote and added the hashtag #SlavaUkraini .

🍇 Tsinandali is a site of cultural significance.

The founder of Georgian romanticism, Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, made this estate a cultural centre for the country, and to this day it hosts exhibitions, events and master classes.

Altogether, the estate encompasses a memorial house, landscape gardens and hotel, plus of course a wine cellar and historic winery — this is even said to be where Georgian wine was first bottled.

Comically, I am not passionate about wine although I was born in Georgia. How come? Well, maybe loving wine is not about a place you were born in? That’s my typical excuse.

🇬🇪🇺🇦 Last night, the action "Russia is a terrorist state" took place in Tbilisi. 🇷🇺🚫

Citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Georgia protested against the Russian attack on Ukraine. During the action, a Russian citizen burned his own passport. He stated that he did not want to be associated with a country that kills its own and foreign citizens.
The main demand of the rally was to label Russia a terrorist state, although there were many posters demanding the release of ex-president Saakashvili. The action, which was attended by several hundred people, was organized by Ukrainian citizens and activists, together with Georgian opposition youth movements.

🐓📈🥚 Prices for chicken and eggs in Georgia will increase by more than 20%.

According to Revaz Vashakidze, the founder of the Chirin company, a sharp rise in prices is expected in this segment and "the market should say goodbye to cheap chicken meat and eggs, the price increase is inevitable and will keep going up - by 20%." Poultry farming largely depends on Russia, because the wheat and corn necessary for the production of feed are imported from there. Because of the war, these products became much more expensive, and the price of fertilizers doubled.
❗️According to entrepreneurs, the price increase is expected this year.
