Accusations from Georgia's prime minister and Oscar winners: last night's highlights
Georgia's PM Irakli Garibashvili has accused President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of interfering in the country's internal affairs, and the winners of the 2023 Oscars were announced. Here's what you may have missed from the previous night.
Accusations from Georgian PM
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian politicians of interfering in Georgia's internal affairs by supporting the protests.
"When a person who is at war (Zelenskyy — ed.) comes out and reacts to a destructive action carried out by several thousand people here in Georgia, this is direct evidence that this person is involved, motivated to make something happen here," he said.
The Georgian official added that he wishes Ukraine peace, but "first take care of yourself and your country, and we will take care of our country."
The movie about Navalny won an Oscar, but the one about children from Lysychansk did not
The film about Russian politician and opposition leader Alexei Navalny, "Navalny", won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The Ukrainian film "A House Made of Splinters" was in this category.
The winner in the Best Picture category was the film "Everything Everywhere All at Once". In particular, Michelle Yeoh, who played in this movie, won the Oscar for Best Actress, and Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won in the Best Director category.
Brendan Fraser was recognized as the best actor for his role in the movie "The Whale", and the film "Avatar: The Way of Water" won in the Best Visual Effects category.
Fire in Moscow Oblast
On the night of March 13, a warehouse with an area of 4,320 square meters caught fire in the city of Odintsovo, Moscow Oblast.
The Russians did not specify what kind of warehouse caught fire, but reported that it partially collapsed over an area of 2,000 square meters. There has been no information about any casualties or injuries, the propagandists write. The cause of the fire was not reported either.
Database of war criminals
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is working on a database of war criminals, which should be ready soon. The agency will share the database with other countries.
Currently, the database contains 218,000 people. First of all, these are representatives of state authorities, law enforcement agencies and illegal military groups. Among them are former and current citizens of Ukraine.
The database also includes 172,000 Russians: representatives of the Russian armed forces and the Russian military leadership.
Saakashvili's statement
Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said that he is facing multiple organ failure and that he is "close to death" in the hospital where he was transferred from prison.
"Initially, I was 120 kilograms, now I weigh 64. If I weigh less than 60 kilograms, doctors predict multiple organ failure," the former Georgian leader said.
Describing his health condition, he said: "I am in bed all the time, my bones are crumbling, and it causes unbearable pain."
Saakashvili's lawyer told Sky News that his client's condition is deteriorating every day.
