Before Bucha, there was Abkhazia. On August 14, 1992, Russia 🇷🇺 and Russian-backed forces attacked Georgia 🇬🇪, starting a war that led to the ethnic cleansing and displacement of over 200,000 Georgians and an ongoing occupation — the same imperialist crimes seen in Ukraine today.

17 years ago, Russia launched its war against Georgia, with aggression starting days earlier. Shelling of Georgian 🇬🇪 villages and illegal troop deployments preceded August 7, 2008. The world must not forget how appeasing Russia in Georgia led to war in Ukraine. #WeRemember2008
Day 197 of daily, nationwide protests in Georgia. Public anger is growing after a court handed down an unjust verdict against a 21-year-old protester.
The regime in Georgia began issuing verdicts for its prisoners of conscience. 21-year-old Mate Devidze just got 4.5 years for “attacking the police.” #terrorinGeorgia
#terrorinGeorgia The pro-russian Georgian Dream regime has just arrested a key opposition figure, Nika Melia — the second major opposition leader now behind bars. It’s a dictatorship in motion, eliminating political opposition. Share and spread the word.
Happy Independence Day, Georgia 🇬🇪! Empires and centuries couldn’t break you. You’ll be free from the russian puppet regime too. Day 180 of the #Georgiaprotests.
One year ago on this day, taken by me. We are born to resist 🇬🇪🇪🇺
Waiting for the moment Trump’s ‘4D chess’ backfires when China and Russia stop playing along and the board flips on him and the U.S.
In response to the increasing repressions of the opposition in Georgia, Poland has banned 8 representatives of enforcement authorities responsible for the violence against protesters, from entering its territory. Poland supports the pro-European aspirations of 🇬🇪 society.
Meeting with school students to discuss Georgian security & Russian hybrid warfare. Knowing the younger generation, I can say that Russia will never be able to conquer their minds and therefore, our homeland. Georgia will be free.
$169,500 of public money wasted in 3 months by Georgian Dream to boost 7 propaganda facebook pages. Lies over lives, disinformation over development.
1/ On the night of April 8–9, 2025, parents of regime prisoners spent the night on Rustaveli Ave, aiming to prevent representatives of GD from decorating the memorial with flowers. Irakli Kobakhidze and other members of GD went to the Cathedral instead of Rustaveli.
These pictures of the heroic Georgian woman Nana Makharadze are more than symbolic. She faced russian aggression on April 9, 1989, and she’s still resisting it today. #GeorgiaProtests #Stoprussia
36 years ago, soviet russia brutally suppressed a protest against its occupation in Tbilisi 🇬🇪, killing 21, including 17 women and the youngest, just 16. We honor those who sacrificed for our freedom. russia’s imperialism will inevitably fall, just like the USSR!
🚨 The pro-Putin Georgian Dream regime tortured a British citizen in prison, now they’re blocking his return to the UK. 🇬🇪🇬🇧 #SanctionGeorgianDream www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...
'Pro-Putin agents tortured me in prison - now I'm told I can't go home to UK'
EXCLUSIVE: Brit Daniel Travis has revealed he has been put on an effective 'no-fly list' by Georgian officials after being beaten in prison last year.

Day 128. No way that we stop. And they cannot consolidate “painlessly,” without years of instability. You can help us avoid costs that can be avoided in our liberation struggle through sanctions that are tailored to push the regime to schedule free elections. #GeorgiaProtests
Today Georgian Dream has completely dismantled election transparency, de facto rendering the new elections meaningless. 1/5
I told the AI to turn one of the photos of me and my friends from the Georgia protest into a cartoon.
A sixth month of #GeorgiaProtests. As President Zourabichvili pointed out during her tonight’s address, the dictatorship stands on 3 pillars that our partners can help us shake: 1. Financial network of the oligarch; 2. Russian(-style) propaganda; 3. Repressive resources.
At this very moment, it’s getting a little tense in Tbilisi - for the first time in months. Protesters are numerous, angry, and fed up. ALL EYES ON GEORGIA! #GeorgiaProtests
March 31, 1991 – The day Georgia 🇬🇪 chose its future. 99% voted for independence from the Soviet Union, reclaiming the nation’s freedom. The fight for true independence continues.
🧵Dear Georgia watchers, please help me spread the word about how Ivanishvili’s regime is working to fulfill Putin’s dream by justifying Russia’s 2008 August aggression against Georgia. 1/
A must-read on Russia’s influence operations in Georgia — a case study in modern hybrid warfare. What’s happening there is a warning to all democracies. www.fpri.org/article/2025...

Just found out that a wonderful painting from Zelensky’s cabinet with the Kremlin in flames was created by Georgian artist Sandro Antadze. A powerful symbol of two nations, one fight. Slava Ukraini! 🇬🇪🇺🇦
How did we get here, where the United States echoes the same tired excuses as russia? Annexing an independent state is indefensible. Yet when such actions are cloaked in “security concerns,” it mirrors the very rhetoric used by russia to justify its aggression.
