❗️Several MPs who left the ruling party last year and formed the Power of the People coalition are talking about a possible assassination of Saakashvili.
According to them, the politician's patrons still have plan B: get rid of him as a golden witness, blame the authorities for the death of the ex-president and, under this pretext, try to organize mass riots in the country.
“Firstly, these people will get rid of the golden witness, whose political value in prison is zero, and secondly, and most importantly, they will blame the authorities for the death of Saakashvili and, under this pretext, will try to organize mass riots in the country, the ultimate goal of which will be violent change of power and the opening of a second front in Georgia”.

🇬🇪💔 Georgia says goodbye to Vakhtang Kikabidze.
From the large concert hall with the song of Chito Gvrito and applause, the coffin and a large funeral procession advanced to the Vera cemetery.
Perhaps Buba would have asked everyone, as he usually did, to smile, but today it was impossible to hold back the tears.

🌬The National Environment Agency states that the cause of air pollution in Tbilisi is ...the Karakum desert.
According to their report dust and poor air quality are associated with transboundary pollution and most likely came from Central Asia.
Users on social networks are skeptical of this statement, commenting that they smell burning for several days and have difficulty breathing during peak traffic hours.

🇷🇺🛫🚫 Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili opposed the resumption of air traffic between Russia and Georgia and demanded to tighten the visa regime with the Russian Federation.
The statement was published on her official website.
“I do not welcome the return of direct flights to Russia. At a time when all our partner countries, in word or deed, express maximum solidarity with the selfless struggle of Ukraine, for me and, I am sure, for the majority of society, the position of the government and the ruling party is incomprehensible. We are mindful of Russia's tricks and must understand that the Kremlin brings up such topics when it hopes to create a split between us and our Western partners. This cannot be allowed!”
ℹ️ Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov expressed the opinion that direct flights canceled by Russia after the anti-Kremlin actions in the summer of 2019 should be returned. These words were supported by representatives of the ruling Georgian Dream party

💔 Yesterday Georgia said goodbye to Kikabidze: the funeral ceremony was held in the building of the Tbilisi Concert Hall.
Thousands of people came to say goodbye to the legendary Georgian performer. Official delegations came from different countries of the world. They gave a speech to the Minister of Culture of Ukraine, read condolences from Patriarch Ilia II, and one of those present simply said that let's applaud and the whole hall stood up, applauding for a long time and wiping away tears. Farewell took place under his songs, frames from films and cries of "Bravo". Kikabidze was buried at the Veriysky cemetery in Tbilisi, next to his mother and wife.
🇬🇪 "Buba", as he called himself and was called in the country, was an amazing person. The personification of Georgia. It's mind, pride, energy, moral strength and human warmth. We will miss him greatly...
