a truen is not deterred. he still has only one goal to cross the border into malea . i will try again on trading at we have nothing is done as a use. we have no opportunity to to develop ourselves or to war. even if you study, you can work dead there. one choice incident. even you can enter the army on work as illegal war a truen and the other is we'll try to get by somehow and food donations from the neighbors and to hold out until they one day reach europe. the majority of georgians also want to join europe. the european union, and as soon as possible, like ukraine, their country is a neighbor of russia. conflict as brewing over the russian bag, breakaway regents off south the seizure it up cause yell at many georgians are
11:37 pm
worried about being pu tins. next target. young activist, marianna, big, good job sir, is doing everything she can to clear george's path into the you. but it's a rock throughout. ah, yes to europe. tens of thousands of georgians marched through the capital of tbilisi. after the e, you declined to give their country candidate status. they think it's their government's fault and they're demanding the administration step down. marianna giggled, chassis is in the midst of it, all. she sees europe is more than being geographically close to the west to her europe is the future and she's made it her life's mission to fight for it. i think that julia deserves to be a proud member off you up in union bad. i know that there are a lot of problems to day and that's why i'm also doing my best and just leaving for
11:38 pm
these changes. ah, marian cake, who chatty says, one of the problems is george's neighbor, russia. she took us to an area where the issue was quite apparent at the border with a partially recognized separatist republic of south or city. most of the international community views the territory in the caucasus mountains as part of georgia. it proclaimed independence 30 years ago, but heavily relies on russian aid russian money control south of santia. the russian military is stationed there. and after russia's attack on ukraine, georgians fear they may be next. when it took 2 and a half hours to reach the destination, the village of continuity lies right on the border with south of santia. and the people complain the border here change is constantly. they say russian soldiers
