🇬🇪❤️ Autumn in Tusheti.
Rare footage of one of the most remote and hard-to-reach regions of Georgia. The road there is closed for the winter and will open only in the spring. Only a few families constantly live in Tusheti in winter.

🍇 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.

🇬🇪❌💥 Georgia categorically denied Moscow's accusations of involvement in the explosion on the Kerch bridge and transportation of explosives through its territory.
Earlier, Russian authorities reported that explosives arrived in the Russian Federation through the Upper Lars checkpoint and the seaport of Poti. Georgian officials deny this.
📍Ministry of Finance: "Not a trailer, not a car with TNT or other explosives passed through the customs border. If this is speculation, then the relevant services should answer it, I tell you that there was no such case."
📍Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Georgia has nothing to do with the mentioned issue. Both transit and non-transit cargoes pass customs control in Georgia. No such suspicious fact has been recorded."
📍Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze: “This is complete nonsense and has nothing to do with Georgia. I don’t know why they need it, probably for internal PR. I don’t know what to say… It has nothing to do with Georgia.”
📍Deputy of the ruling party Rati Ionatamishvili: "“I will tell you clearly: when an accusation is made by an occupying country, especially the intelligence service of this occupying country, I do not consider it appropriate and relevant to make any statement in response to this. There are some issues that we do not consider necessary to comment, much less create a stir."
