Danilov: There were 5 attempts to Liquidate Zelensky, This is # 1 Plan for Russia
According to the head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Alexei Danilov, Russia was still planning an attack on Ukraine on February 22 and its main goal was the liquidation of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
As Danilov said in an interview with the BBC Russian bureau, “the plan was quite simple and brazen.”
“First of all, the liquidation of the president was important. It was the number one issue for the Russians, and there were several attempts in this direction. Moreover, I can say that on February 22, at around 19:20, we received information that this might happen in the near future. 4 more attempts.
"The last one was on March 7 - then we received information from our partners, from intelligence, that such an operation was planned ... I want to thank the president and the state security guard who protects the government quarter, as well as all the military,” Danilov said.
Zurabishvili: By Offering Megrelian and Svan Languages at Schools as Electives, We Will Preserve These Languages
“As a result of the Russian occupation regime, both Abkhazian and Georgian languages are equally restricted in Abkhazia. The number of speakers of the Abkhazian language is decreasing from year to year. Georgians living in Gali and nearby villages are prohibited from receiving school education in Georgian. In addition to the protection of the Georgian and Abkhazian languages, as defined by the Constitution, we are responsible for the protection and survival of the Megrelian, Svan, Chan and Laz languages.
These languages are an integral part of our culture and represent a unique treasure. We will be able to do this if we establish the right to elective education in schools, primarily for Megrelians and Svans,” President Salome Zurabishvili stated yesterday at a briefing in regard to Georgian Language Day.
