The situation has become tense in the village of Gumati, where the action of the opponents of Namakhvani HPP continues, and an iron dam is erected. Rioni Valley guards were hitting the iron dam with their hands, trying to cross the closed area, but the police do not allow them to do so.

Levan Vasadze dines with Russian politician on Georgia’s Independence Day
According to Mtavari Arkhi TV channel, pro-Russian businessman Levan Vasadze met with Alexander Dugin, the Kremlin ideologue and leader of the International Eurasian Movement, in Moscow.
The channel obtained a video showing Dugin and Vasadze having dinner at one of the restaurants. According to the channel, the meeting took place today, on May 26, Georgia's Independence Day.
Alexander Dugin is the leader of the International Eurasian Movement. The essence of his political activity was to create a Eurasian super-country at the expense of the integration of the former republics with Russia. Dugin seeks to rectify the consequences of the “greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century” - the collapse of the Soviet Union.
During the 2008 war, Dugin advised the Russian government to conquer Tbilisi and form a pro-Russian government there. Otherwise, he predicted a new war, as the Georgian government, in his estimation, was a puppet of the United States.
Levan Vasadze, a pro-Russian businessman who has been making discriminatory and aggressive statements for years, announced his coming into politics on May 6, 2021, with his newly founded country “Nation - Unity, Identity, Hope.”
