🪫 Problems with electricity in mountainous Svaneti.
The region has been in an energy blockade for more than 36 hours. Due to avalanches and breaks in the networks, in Mestia, the supply of electricity through backup power sources has been reduced to a minimum. The municipality encourages the use of electricity (where available) only when absolutely necessary. Some large hotels operate generators.
🎿❌ Ski resorts are closed.
❗️ There are also problems with travel to the region. For several days, police officers allowed only cars with chains to enter. A rock collapse occurred in the municipality of Tsageri.
🌨 Forecasters predict that the snow in the region will last for another two to three days.

🇬🇪❤️🌦 Amazing sky over Tbilisi today.
Wind, snow, rain, sun, rainbow - all mixed up. Now it is cloudy, then suddenly the clouds dissipate and Kazbek and the mountains around the capital become visible .

❗️ The flood caused by the overflow of the Rioni River damaged the support of the bridge on the section of the Samtredia-Grigoleti highway.
A truck carrying out repair work overturned at that place, but there were no casualties. The Department of Transportation and the police have launched an investigation into the incident and a fact check. The construction of the bridge and the road are at the final stage.
ℹ️ The 11.5 km section of Samtredia-Grigoleti highway was to be put into operation in the near future. The work is financed from the state budget in the amount of 73 million lari ($27 million).

🇬🇪❤️🇺🇦 The building of the residence of the President of Georgia was lit up last night in the colors of the Ukrainian flag as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.
The former palace of Princes Orbeliani on Tbilisi's Atoneli Street is located in the center of the city and has been the residence of President Salome Zurabishvili since 2018.

🚘 Traffic on the Rikoti pass has been restored.
It has been closed due to the collapse of the soil, snowfall and ice since yesterday. People stood in snow captivity for 10-16 hours. At the moment, snow removal equipment continues to operate on the Tbilisi-Batumi highway, but the passage is already possible.

🇬🇪 February 25 is the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Soviet Occupation in Georgia.
In memory of tens of thousands of those arrested and killed, flags were flown at half mast on state buildings in Georgia: at the residence of the president, parliament, and administrations of the country's regions.
ℹ️ 102 years ago - on February 25, 1921, the Soviet army, after fierce battles, captured Tbilisi and overthrew the government of Georgia.
❗️The consequences of the Soviet terror are still being found

🇬🇪🇺🇦 In many Georgian cities, not only in the capital, actions in support of Ukraine were held on Friday and Saturday.
The photos show small but sincere actions in Batumi, Kutaisi, Kobuleti and Mestia.
❤️ Many thanks to everyone who remains indifferent and empathizes and helps all these months.
