In Ingushetia, plans are underway to immortalize the memory of 8-year-old Khizir Derbichev, who died while saving a friend in the Sunzha River. This was announced by the head of the republic, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov.
The Georgian opposition and its supporters protested yesterday against the arrival of the Astoria Grande cruise ship with Russians on board at the port of Batumi. Particularly active protesters tried to break through the police cordon, but the situation remained under control. The action was held under the slogans "Russian ship - f*** you" and "Abkhazia is Georgia."
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili supported the action. “I am proud of our people who have peacefully protested a new Russian provocation - the entry of a Russian cruise ship into the Georgian port of Batumi, while Putin is blocking grain shipments and hindering free navigation in the Black Sea. Black Sea security is vital for Georgia, Ukraine and the EU,” Zurabishvili tweeted.
