“Georgian Dream” propagandist Shalva Ramishvili, the director of the pro-government and British-sanctioned channel POSTV, addressed Formula TV journalist Keti Tutberidze with a sexist epithet in an attempt to humiliate her.
The incident occurred when the journalist approached him to ask questions regarding the British sanctions. In response to Tutberidze’s remark that she was not satisfied with his answer to a specific question, the propagandist mockingly addressed her and repeatedly called her “unsatisfied” (daukmaqobilebeli), despite the journalist ethically pointing out the lewd connotations of the word.
On February 24, 2026, four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Great Britain imposed sanctions on the pro-government television stations Imedi and POSTV for spreading disinformation against Ukraine. The sanctions were announced as part of a broad package released by the United Kingdom’s Foreign Office.
