Католикос-Патриарх всея Грузии Илиа II отмечает 85-летие

Католикос-Патриарх всея Грузии, Архиепископ Мцхетский и Тбилисский, Митрополит Пицундский и Сухум – Абхазский, Святейший и Блаженнейший Илиа II в четверг (4 января) отпраздновал свой 85-й день рождения. Среди поздравивших Патриарха был президент Грузии Георгий Маргвелашвили, который привел жизнь Патриарха в качестве примера для всего народа Грузии.

Илиа II является главой Грузинской православной церкви уже в течение сорока лет. Грузинское общество высоко ценит его. Недавние скандалы, которые затронули Православную Церковь в Грузии, не сказались на уважении, которое большинство грузин испытывают к Илие II, который остается символом национальной идентичности и единства Грузии.

Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia

A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region was quoted by AP on Monday saying that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it, one of four regions Russia annexed from Ukraine in September 2022. If confirmed, it would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war with international peace efforts led by the US failing to make progress on halting the fighting. Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.
