Petition launched in Georgia against the Prime Minister because of his pro-Russian policy

Citizens of Georgia initiated a petition demanding to impose sanctions on the country's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili for his "pro-Russian position". In an appeal to the US Ambassador, the authors noted that they do not support the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

“We, the people of Georgia, firmly support the cause of Ukraine. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about our government, which does not even hide its anti-Western rhetoric. Our authorities are blocking all paths to the European future of Georgia, leaving our children with the bleak prospect of a Russian quagmire,” the document says. The authors of the petition note that the Prime Minister's son Nikoloz Garibashvili will begin his studies at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) in the United States this year. However, this has nothing to do with a shared belief in European or American values or a genuine desire for knowledge.

The conclusion of the petition states that in 2012 events developed in such a way that the Georgian Dream party came to power in Georgia - as it turned out later, in fact, pro-Russian in its essence.

A Moscow blogger recorded a video apologising after making offensive remarks about Chechens during a livestream. In the video, he is seen kneeling and addressing the Chechen people:
​“I want to sincerely apologise to Chechnya for my words. At the time, I was drunk and said too much, but that is no excuse for my behaviour. I understand that my words could have been perceived as disrespectful to you and to your people, the people of Chechnya. I did not intend to show disrespect, and I sincerely regret what I said. I ask for your forgiveness! I respect you and understand that I should have watched what I said, regardless of the state I was in. This will not happen again on my part,” the blogger said.
