@giddy - Georgia has some of the highest home ownership for any country...this isn't really a problem (source: many local friends).

Russia wants to recreate USSR and Georgia is one of the former republics of this communist state. Putin invaded Ukraine and is destroying our buildings and killing our people(including civilians). And the pretext for this invasion was to call us nazis(bad guys from WW2), though our president is jew. And depending on the results in Ukraine, he will decide weather to invade other country of the former USSR and which. That is why Ukraine heavily needs any support.
