Poland has detained and charged a Georgian citizen, named only as Makhmud A., with aiding and abetting the murder of a Russian dissident earlier this year. Another Georgian, Elnur A., was already in custody, accused of committing the murder itself.

Replying to @hintsagty.bsky.social
Critics at home read the case as going after an opponent; Abkhaz read it as a warning against speaking openly about Georgian crimes. Maybe both are true and the first conveniently does the second's work? But the second is always ill-timed, secondary, a distraction from "actual story". No matter what

Infrastructure crippled, insufficient, climate challenges grow, competence among authorities inadequate at best, corrupt at worst. We are in for more frequent situations like this across Georgia sadly.
Authorities have been working to mitigate “serious” impact in Telavi, Kakheti, after the local river overflowed following rain during the early hours of July 12, flooding streets and residential areas. No casualties or injuries have been reported.

Last week, the Secretary of Transportation sent a letter asking Congress to restrict almost all federal transportation funding for bike lanes, and instead fund bike lane removals. This is just the latest escalation in the administration's war on bike lanes. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center

Age of Kadyrov is in Georgia. But if we are honest it has been for a while now
A Georgian pro-government MMA fighter, Giorgi Karvelishvili, has announced the launch of a movement to defend ‘values and traditions’. Stopping short of saying his movement would defend these values through violence, Kartvelashvili said that members of the movement were prepared to ‘go to prison’.

Ted Cruz: “On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card”
Donald Trump confirms he asked FIFA to review Balogun’s red card: “I saw the play. And I’m a person that loves sports and was a good athlete. And I understand sports really well. Really well. That wasn’t a foul; that wasn’t even an infraction.…So yes, I asked for a review by FIFA.”

If you tried to make a very bad situation worse you would struggle. Enter Donald Trump
I hate to inflict this man on you, but this is extraordinary in its ignorance of football and the rules of the game, and essentially says he called in a favour from 'Johnny' Infantino to get the suspension overturned. This is genuine disgrace. www.reddit.com/r/soccer/com...
What a timing to 'begin refining crude oil of entirely non-Russian origin' bsp.com.ge/en/news/01-0...
Let me know if there are any analytical articles on impact on Georgia. A small matter of number of counties in region competing for diesel for a prolonged period of time could raise costs if not create shortages
Russia, the worlds 3rd largest exporter of oil Has banned the export of petrol/gasoline and jet fuel and may also ban diesel exports Russia lost 25% of it's petrol/gasoline last week It's also considering importing fuel due to fuel shortages #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

This World Cup would have looked grimly different without locally-based communities who showed up to bring their love to matchdays. Given travel restrictions and exorbitant prices diaspora supporters have made this World Cup. Arguably, they have saved this World Cup. www.nytimes.com/athletic/739...
