📵 In Georgia, it was proposed to remove Russian channels from Internet broadcasting.
«Friends, when the government capitulates like this, take care of state affairs, close Russian propaganda channels from your resources or set a high commercial price for them. Those who want to listen to occupation propaganda in Georgia must pay," said Mamuka Khazaradze, chairman of the Lelo for Georgia party and founder of the TBS Bank.

🇺🇦🇬🇪 100 tons of humanitarian aid have been sent from Georgia to Ukraine.
The humanitarian cargo includes first aid items, more than 30 items of medicines, oxygen concentrators. In addition, Georgia is helping Ukraine with a supply of blood - blood components and materials necessary for transfusion have been sent.

🌾 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

Where can I donate blood in Georgia.
📍Tbilisi. Blood bank:
Located in the building of the Iashvili’s Children Clinic in the Digomi area at the address: st. Ljubljana, 13/6
📍Batumi. Blood bank:
st. Gorgasali, 167
❗️ While there is no guarantee that the blood will definitely go to Ukraine, they are waiting for a new humanitarian flight. Let me remind you that blood components have already been sent from Georgia today.

💳 Russians began to be refused to open accounts in the Georgian TBC bank.
More than 10 people wrote to me about this, who applied to the departments today. Because of the sanctions, Russians who are in Georgia are doing this en masse now. The bank's employees refer to an internal order and ask for additional documents (a housing lease agreement, an employment contract). There have been no official bans yet. Current accounts are serviced as usual.
❗️There are no such problems in the Bank of Georgia so far. A foreigner can open an account by presenting only a passport.

⚡️The Government of Georgia is consulting with partners on the possible closure of airspace for the Russian Federation.
Let me remind you that direct flights between the countries have been closed since July 2019 on the initiative of Russia due to anti-Putin protests in Tbilisi.

⚡️Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani supported the Prime Minister in his decision not to join economic sanctions against Russia.
He explained this by the weakness of Georgia's economy, its dependence on Russian energy resources and territorial proximity.
«We have confirmed Georgia's vulnerability to Russian aggression with our lives. Shouldn't a responsible government be careful in this process? They do not need additional mobilization, which was carried out in connection with Ukraine. They are here, the result of their occupation is visible from the highway, it will take a few minutes to turn the whole of Georgia upside down. Do you think we have no information about what they are going to do and how? Borrel's statement was made yesterday, perhaps it will be the next Georgia. I don't want to see Russian tanks in the direction of Tbilisi, I don't want to see the bombing of the capital and airports. I'm not intimidating anyone, but this is the worst situation," Zalkaliani said.

❗️Putin has banned Russians and Russian companies from transferring foreign currency to repay loans and crediting foreign currency to their accounts abroad.
These restrictions will affect residents of the Russian Federation who are in Georgia.

🇺🇦 Action to support Ukraine in the center of Tbilisi.

🔥🇷🇺 The Russian flag was publicly burned at the rally.

😕 The President of Georgia doubted the words of Prime Minister Garibashvili.
"To be honest, I would not make such a statement," Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili told France 24 in an interview, answering a question about the Prime Minister's statement that Georgia would not support sanctions against Russia.
"I do not know why he made this statement....our country is already under sanctions because of the occupied territories. To be honest, I wouldn't make such a statement. What is very important and what is expected from Georgia is solidarity. That is why I am here in Europe to express solidarity to Ukraine and the Georgian people also express it," the Georgian President said.
