Georgia has always been Russia's testing ground. From secessionism to embargoes and outright invasion,
the current takeover is actually a step further, it's what Russia aims to do with Ukraine eventually.
Helping Georgians means crushing Russia's playbook for the future.

70-year-old Juna Rukhadze from Batumi attends the #GeorgiaProtests daily - in a wheelchair, and changing 3 public transports to get there.
Yet another "foreign agent," as you can see.

Again, protesters move around many Old Tbilisi neighbourhoods.
I wonder if the regime wonders they should have just let the people close Rustaveli.

On the day of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, we must remember that the enemy still sows division through brute force and subversive, hybrid efforts.
Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus are the most disadvantaged victims.

Exactly two years ago, 🇬🇪 was granted the EU candidate status.
Now 🇬🇪 is a dictatorship in terms of state institutions, the consolidation of which is only hindered by protests and the public.
As UK MP Perran Moon sait at PACE, what Putin did in Russia in 12 years, they did in Georgia in 12 months.

Whenever the regime police physically ensures that the Rustaveli road is not closed (because imprisonment laws can't do it), passerby cars honk in support of the protesters, which also annoys the police.
Yesterday, many cars also had flags.

Since the regime police physically blocks people from closing the Rustaveli road (something that imprisonment laws couldn't do), people in the last couple of days began marching on adjacent roads, blocking them.

People didn't care about the “law” imprisoning them for closing the Rustaveli road, and went to prison en masse too.
But the regime police still has to fill up the road themselves to prevent closure.
As you can see, the “law” works very well.
