This is very emotional. The brother of Tamaz Ginturi, a Georgian patriot tortured by Russian occupiers last year, is giving out apples to protesters. The apples are likely from his garden in their village.

Freedom from authoritarianism is hard won. How quickly we forget, living in luxury and excess, forgetting what is truly valuable. We don't need to de-escalate with Putin, we need to destroy him.
