V ❌ Z In The Georgian Parliament has come up with a legislative initiative to ban the symbols of Russia in the war against Ukraine — the St. George ribbon and the symbols "Z" and "V".
They believe that the fight against such propaganda symbols is in the national interests of Georgia. According to the proposed bill, an individual will be punished with a fine of 2,000 lari ($ 650), a legal entity 5,000 lari ($ 1,650).
ℹ️ Let me remind you that according to Georgian laws, the use of Soviet symbols has been prohibited in the country since 2011.

🌼 The peak of allergies in Georgia will take place after April 25.
This statement was made by the well-known immunologist-allergist Bidzina Kolbegov, saying that "the active period of flowering and pollen distribution ends at the end of April. From this moment on, allergy sufferers usually improve their health."
Right now, only the daily Erius pill saves me, so everything has suddenly bloomed and turned green.
❓And how do you tolerate spring blooming in Georgia?

👨🎨😺 The mystery of Tbilisi graffiti has been revealed.
The story, as expected, turned out to be banal. There were no Russian saboteurs behind it. It turned out that this is a young man living in Tbilisi and working as a cook in one of the bars in the center of the capital. He often paints and he has a pet named "Shisha". That's how, having painted the city with his kitty, he scared the locals and forced them to discuss the drawings for two days.
👮🏻♂ An administrative protocol was drawn up, the artist was released from the police.

☦️ Easter in Georgia is one of the most important holidays of the year.
The country solemnly welcomes it together with the entire Orthodox world. On Saturday 22-25, the Holy Fire arrived on a special flight from Jerusalem, after which it was taken to the temples and churches of Georgia. Since ancient times, Easter has been celebrated massively and widely, usually after the Easter service flowing into a meal, after which various games and competitions began. Especially from the Easter traditions can be singled out the singing of chon songs — during which they bless the house and say good wishes to all family members. On the tables there is usually a djedjili — sprouted wheat grass, which is the personification of a new life, of course, a cake and eggs, they are traditionally painted here with the help of madder dye or endro (you could see its small branches in shops or markets). These days they remember all the deceased and go to cemeteries. In particular, that's why there was an hour-long traffic jam at the exit from Tbilisi yesterday, as people from the capital went to the regions to visit their relatives.
❤️ I sincerely congratulate everyone on Easter and especially these days I want to wish everyone peace and faith in the best. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

☦️ Catholicos of Georgia Ilia II addressed the country with an Easter message.
«War is a great calamity between nations because it takes thousands of lives, tramples on every law, morality and values, sows cruelty and hatred. The greatest pain is caused now by the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine. No one knows what will happen tomorrow and how events will develop. In such an environment, it is important and necessary to show compassion and kindness to the victims of war (wounded, prisoners, hungry, women, children and the elderly) in order to defeat evil. The most important thing is not to lose human dignity and, even in the most difficult situation, not to lose faith and love."
ℹ️ Let me remind you that the 88-year-old patriarch is, according to polls, the most respected and authoritative person, 82% of citizens trust him.

🏈 One person died, several sought medical help after "Lelo burti" — an old Georgian version of rugby.
The game took place today in the village of Shuhuti, Lanchkhut municipality (Guria region) on the feast of the Easter. Historians believe that the game is about three hundred years old. In 2019, "Lelo Burti" was awarded the status of a monument of intangible cultural heritage of Georgia. Unlike rugby, there are virtually no rules and the number of participants is 50 on each side.

🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned Georgia several times during a press conference for international media.
Kiev will return its ambassador to Tbilisi after the authorities demonstrate support for Ukraine.
«We definitely don't want conflicts with Georgia. I am sure that they will never be… We will definitely return the ambassador to friendly Georgia as soon as we feel the support of Ukraine from your government," Zelensky said.
He noted that he considers the Georgian people fraternal and "one of the really close ones for Ukrainians," but he does not understand the position of the leaders of the Georgian state.
«I don't understand the non-acceptance of sanctions. I have heard the messages "we must protect our economy." What is the economy? They have already taken part of the territory of Georgia, almost reached Tbilisi," the President of Ukraine said.

🇬🇪⚡️🇺🇦 The head of the representative office of the Ukrainian party "Servant of the People" in the Rada, David Arahamiya, demands sanctions against the former Prime Minister of Georgia and billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili.
This is how he reacted to the audio recording, according to the denoscription of which (authenticity has not been confirmed) Ivanishvili talks about grain supplies with the Russian billionaire and owner of AFK “Sistema” Yevtushenkov. Arakhamiya writes that the Georgian and Ukrainian people will be brothers, but he is dissatisfied with the actions of the Georgian government, which refused to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian politician believes that all the actions of the Georgian government are to follow the instructions of the Kremlin. According to the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, this is the reason for their rhetoric against Ukraine - non-recognition of war crimes committed by Russia and circumvention of sanctions.
❗️A scandal, however. No matter how bad it all ends for the relations between the countries.

🏒🇬🇪 The Georgian national team....in hockey took 2nd place at the World Championship in group "B" (second division).
Due to a number of objective and subjective reasons and the lack of a full-fledged infrastructure, ice hockey in the 21st century is not particularly popular in the country, but there are some successes, as we see. On the first day of the tournament, Georgia defeated Belgium with a score of 4:3, then lost 2-5 to Iceland, then the Georgian national team defeated Bulgaria 10:3 and Mexico 5:0. The head coach of the Georgian national team is Roland Svanidze, who previously played in the RHL for Metallurg Novokuznetsk.
