🇺🇦 Action to support Ukraine in the center of Tbilisi.
Even the rain did not prevent us from gathering in the center of the Georgian capital to support the war-torn Ukraine.
❗️The number of people at the protests has only been increasing in recent days. More than 10,000 participants chanted "No war" and "Putin is a dick."
🔥🇷🇺 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.

📍stopped selling Russian products in Bolt Market and Bolt Food.

💡Bank of Georgia has decided to introduce a form of condemnation of the Russian occupation of Ukraine and Georgia before opening bank accounts for citizens of Russia and Belarus.
The Bank of Georgia fulfills all the sanctions imposed on Russia. «If a person not affected by sanctions against Russia confirms his position by signing this document, the bank will consider the possibility of cooperation with him," the Bank of Georgia explained.
📌 The form of the Bank of Georgia is as follows:
📍 I agree that the Russian Federation is an occupier that invaded Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022;
📍 I support the territorial integrity of Georgia and consider Abkhazia and Samachablo to be part of Georgia;
📍 I agree not to share Russian propaganda and fight it;
📍I know that violating these requirements will result in the cancellation of my Bank of Georgia account.

❗️The previous news is not fake, but the most real one: in order to open an account in the "Bank of Georgia", citizens of Russia and Belarus must sign a paper stating that they recognize the occupation and the fact of war on the part of Russia.
I can say on my own that I will sign such a paper with pleasure and I always say about the occupation of Georgia, that Putin is a criminal and for many Russians this is a special time. Choices are: they are with darkness and evil or on the side of light.
❗️For the signing of such a document in the Russian Federation, criminal liability for up to 15 years is threatened.

«Don't be silent, take to your streets, support Ukraine. If Ukraine falls, the whole of Europe will fall!»

📵 The Georgian company "Pulsar", operating in Georgia under the name "Supernova", declares that it is terminating relations with its client "Beeline".
Previously, the organization provided technical support to the Georgian division of the Russian company.
According to the co-founder of the company, the decision was made by the company in solidarity with Ukraine:
«Together, we, the people, can do much more for Ukraine than governments, and let's not stop there. In the current situation, we decided to terminate the relationship with our client Beeline (Vion Georgia) and put the chatbot "Super B" to sleep.»
❗️ For my part, I can add that Beeline in Georgia is the worst company in terms of coverage, quality of communication and services. And in the current situation, when they have not publicly opposed the war in Ukraine, it is better to stop cooperation with it. In Georgia, it is allowed to switch from one company to another with the number saved, you just need to write a statement about it. I recommend Magti with their unlimited Internet for GEL 7 per week and excellent coverage across the country.
