❗️The urgent session of the Parliament of Georgia, where Ukraine will be discussed, has actually been disrupted and will be held in a discussion format.
The ruling Georgian Dream party will not come to the emergency meeting - a quorum of 76 deputies has not been recruited for the opening.
ℹ️ Let me remind you that yesterday the parliamentary opposition asked the president to convene an emergency meeting to discuss Ukraine. The agenda included two issues - the hearing of the Prime Minister and the adoption of a resolution in support of Ukraine. President Zurabishvili signed a decree on convening the meeting, but according to the decision of the Georgian Dream faction, the meeting will not take place.

✊ Tbilisi is protesting again.
About 8,000-10,000 people came to the center of the Georgian capital today. Basically, the opposition protested. The main slogans of the action were two:
📍no war and support for Ukraine
📍 resignation of Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili
According to the first point, the anthem of Ukraine was also sung, the chants "Ze-len-skiy" and "Uk-ra-i-na". But for the second, the main discontent of the audience was caused by the official's words that Georgia would not join the sanctions against Russia "taking into account national interests, the country does not plan to join economic and financial sanctions."

🦠 Coronavirus statistics in Georgia: summary results 2020-2022.
Regular readers of the blog know that every morning there was information about the number of new cases, the number of recovered, deceased and vaccinations. Today I'm closing this column.
ℹ️ Exactly two years ago, the first case of covid-19 was diagnosed in Georgia. Over the past time, we have experienced several months of curfews, total bans and fines, closure of businesses and projects, illness and death of people close to us.
Now, the situation has stabilized. And although the number of new daily cases is still several thousand, we have learned to live with the virus. And it, too, began to be transferred much easier. This is still a serious illness and I urge you not to forget about it, monitor your health and take care of yourself.
❗️ And, of course, NO WAR!

🇺🇦 About 2,000 volunteers are going to fly from Georgia to Ukraine.
This was told to me by friends from the anti-occupation movement. This is due to the fact that the President of Ukraine Zelensky announced the creation of the "international legion of Territorial Defense Forces".
Zelensky offers foreigners who "want to participate in resisting the occupiers and protecting world security" to come and "join the ranks of the Territorial Defense Forces."
📍Those wishing to join are recommended to contact the embassies of Ukraine in their countries.

🌾 Georgia's wheat reserves may last for two months.
Prices for various types of commodities are going up as new Western sanctions against Russia increase the likelihood of supply disruptions:
This will affect Georgia.
❗️For example, wheat has risen in price to almost the highest level in more than 13 years. Russia accounts for 70% of the import of this grain into the country
