Georgians know the exact price of Ukraine's fight. We have paid for our own independence in blood more than once. We stand in unwavering solidarity with the heroic Ukrainian people sacrificing everything to defend their homeland. Victory to Ukraine! Tbilisi, Georgia, 24.02.2026

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

Kyiv gets the funds. But lesson from the history: "Liberum Veto" once paralyzed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as external powers exploited internal dissent to create a permanent impasse. To survive this geopolitical storm, Europe must outgrow the veto-power of those acting in Moscow's interest.

You know why Russia hates the European Union?! Russia despises developed & progressive political unions. It fears that this will be the end of its autocratic axis. If people and the Kremlin-allied countries see how a Europe works and performs, they will no longer desire a despotic Russia's axis.

According to the BBC, the Georgian government was using a World War I-era toxic compound to disperse Georgian demonstrators who were standing for Georgia's sovereignty and the European future.

Despite mass arrests and threats, people once again turned out in large numbers on the 333rd day of continuous protest in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. The past year has been very difficult for Georgia’s European and democratic future.

Orbeliani Street - one of the central streets in Tbilisi, after the clashes with the riot police. The situation is tense:

One of the largest demonstrations in recent months took place in Tbilisi. The majority of the population boycotted the municipal elections and took to the streets demanding the government’s resignation and Georgia’s accession to the European Union. Also, support for Ukraine is present too.

Continuous protest in the streets of Tbilisi. Despite mass arrests and repression from the autocratic and pro-Russian regime, people do not stop resisting. Autumn in Georgia has always been the most politically active season.

Yesterday in Tbilisi there was a clash between pro-Russian government-supporting thugs and pro-Europran demonstrators. Today, thousands of people have once again gathered in support of Georgia's European future. It is the 286th consecutive day of protests in Tbilisi.

In 1938, after the international pressure, Czechoslovakia gave Hitler the Sudetenland for "peace." Months later, Germany took the rest - no resistance, no outcry. Still, WWII followed. Today, Russia demands Ukraine give up 5 regions for “peace.” History warns us: appeasement never leads to peace.

Let us never forget: on August 7, 2008 - 17 years ago - Russia launched an attack on Georgia. What followed were mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and the destruction of entire Georgian villages. Survivors were caged, tortured, and left to endure unimaginable suffering.

Today, a large-scale demonstration is being held in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. The demands remain the same: 1. The release of political prisoners; 2. The holding of new elections; 3. The immediate continuation of Georgia’s European integration.

May 26 is Georgia's Independence Day! It has been 107 years since the declaration. This date holds a particularly festive and special place for every Georgian and reminds us that nothing comes without struggle.

163 day of nonstop protests in Georgia, Europe Day, 2025. Georgia is Europe!

Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, roars once more with the demands of its people: freedom for political prisoners, justice for all and free and fair elections in Georgia, which have been suppressed by the pro-Russian and authoritarian political force Georgian Dream party.

On April 14, Georgia marks Mother Tongue Day - honoring the 1978 protests when thousands stood up to Soviet attempts to revoke the Georgian language. Their courage not only protected the Georgian language but also fueled the growing independence movement.

Today is April 9 - the day when, in 1989, the Soviet Russian army massacred peaceful demonstrators in Tbilisi. They used chemical weapons, spades, and tanks against unarmed civilians. To this day, people poisoned by chemical weapons on April 9 still suffer the consequences.

Once again, the streets of Tbilisi are alive with the people's voices. Thousands are standing up against Georgian Dream (GD) - a party that continues to push a pro-Russian agenda, undermining our sovereignty and even daring to shift blame onto Georgia for Russia’s 2008 invasion.

Today in Tbilisi, a female demonstrator was detained near the Parliament entrance. She was holding a banner that read: 'Antsukhelidze is immortal!' Giorgi Antsukhelidze is a national hero of Georgia who was tortured and killed by Russians and their gangs in Tskhinvali in 2008. This is shameful.

Did you know that when Russia invaded Georgia, burned Georgian villages, killed civilians, and carried out ethnic cleansing, they left graffiti on the walls saying "Onward to Tbilisi"? Their dream was to capture the capital. Even back in 2008, Russia's far-reaching ambitions were already apparent.

Yesterday, a large-scale demonstration took place in Budapest, Hungary, against Orbán's government. At the same time, on the 108th day of the ongoing demonstration in Tbilisi, Georgia, a poster reads: "Dear Hungarians, Georgians stand with you."

If Ukraine cedes territory, won’t this legitimize wars of conquest and bring them back into international relations?! This would awaken numerous potential and dormant conflicts, and aggressive war would once again become a viable means of achieving political goals.

Amid the ongoing crises and changes in the world, many seem to have forgotten, but let me remind you that today marks the 100th day of continuous demonstrations in Georgia's capital against the pro-Russian, mostly illegitimate GD government's attempt to halt the country's EU accession process.

Russian forces boasted in front of the downed Malaysian Airplane (2014). Russian army veteran and former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer Igor Girkin was one of the leaders of Russian forces there. This was not the first civilian plane that the Russians shot down. There were several before.

Often, people forget how the war was started in Ukraine: in 2014, after armed Russians occupied large parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces, they began rounding up, torturing, and killing citizens who supported Ukrainian statehood and shot down a civilian airplane (MH17) over Hrabove, Donetsk.

During early WWII, the America First movement, led by Charles Lindbergh, opposed U.S. involvement, arguing Nazi Germany wasn’t a threat. Many Americans favored neutrality, believing good relations would prevent war. Protests opposed aiding Britain, but still, the U.S. was bombed by the Axis.

Building a political reputation takes decades. Trump is depleting the political capital of the U.S. at a rapid pace. If allies lose trust in a leader, restoring that trust will take a very long time. In a multipolar world, such a vacuum is rarely forgiven. Chaotic period ahead.

Global democracy is in decline. Some regions are backsliding, while others are on the brink of collapse. This isn’t just a trend - it’s a warning. What happens next will shape the world for generations. More awareness of democratic and autocratic systems is needed.

This was predictable but not good. Democracy Index of Georgia by The Economist Intelligence Unit. This has to change.

The poster hangs in a restaurant in Gudauri, Georgia. This is a reminder of almost every aggression and genocidal acts that Russia did and kept doing.

Putin wants Europe’s borders and influence zones to be divided again, like at the 1945 Yalta Conference. Russian media even talked about this recently. If this happens, it could weaken U.S. dominance and lead to a multipolar world. And the rule-based world order will end.

"No to Russian Dictatorship!"-For the 80th day in a row, the people of Georgia have been relentlessly protesting in the streets of Tbilisi. The country's future is at stake.

Appeasement is almost always a bad idea and has famously led to greater wars. The return of wars of conquest in international politics will make the world a more dangerous place.

In 2012, one of the reasons Georgian voters supported the Georgian Dream Party (GD) was the promise of establishing greater democracy. Today, 12 years later, it is evident that the Georgian Dream is establishing dictatorship and tyranny and the path toward Europe is being aborted.

The proRussian Georgian Dream (GD) party, which has rejected all demands from its own citizens, rebuffed the EU and openly shifted towards the Russian-Belarusian autocratic axis and has resumed violence against its own citizens. Mass arrests and beatings of demonstrators are taking place in Tbilisi.

Tbilisi, Georgia – The 65th day of continuous demonstrations. The population has begun a march in central Tbilisi, at Heroes' Square. Their demands are simple yet firm: New elections, the release of political prisoners, and the continuation of the civilizational choice toward the European Union.

Mass demonstrations continue uninterrupted in the streets of Tbilisi. Large gatherings are also planned for the weekend. Meanwhile, the pro-Russian Georgian Dream (GD) party, is busy awarding high-ranking police officials who are brutally cracking down on and using violence against protesters.

What Russia is doing is an attack on European states, their communications, and their security. Russia is waging an indirect war against the collective West. An unpunished Russia will become even more aggressive, and other terrorist states will follow its example.

Democracies experience waves. In the past century, we have witnessed several periods of democratic rise. But for the past two decades, the world has been in a state of democratic backsliding. That is why there are political earthquakes in the world. The year 2025 can potentially be a turning point.

There have been 59 days of continuous protest in Georgia. Continuous! Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of the pro-Russian self-proclaimed government, the release of the mass-arrested protesters, and a renewal of Georgia's negotiations to join the European Union.

What is happening in Georgia – free speech is persecuted, citizens and journalists are beaten, and the EU path is traded for alignment with Russia & China – is an attempt to establish a pro-Russian dictatorship and permanently sever the country from Europe, fulfilling the Kremlin's long-held dream.

"Europe's holiday from history is now over!" - Finnish President Stubb For years, the West mistakenly believed that the threat from Russia and its allies was no longer relevant and that historical rivalries were a thing of the past. Now that false perception is changing for good.

Pro-Russian criminal gangs, known as Titushky, continue to attack citizens in Georgia. They assault and beat people. All of this became endemic. It seems the pro-Russian forces are trying to consolidate their illegitimate power through intimidation of the people.

It's unacceptable how some still call Georgia a "former Soviet state." By that logic, should we also refer to the United States as a "former British colony"? Georgia is one of the oldest countries in the world, with a history and identity that far transcend its time under Soviet rule.

Even in the serene Georgian mountains, the call for Georgia's European future echoes loud and clear. Ski resorts are joining the movement, showcasing how deeply this aspiration resonates across all corners of the country.

1/3 - Before Ukraine, this happened in Georgia – in 1991-1993, genocide against Georgians was carried out in Gagra, and ethnic cleansing took place in Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region. The same was repeated in 2008. All of this was orchestrated and conducted by Russia.
