The Republic of Georgia has celebrated its national day.
But a dispute is growing after the resumption of direct flights between Tbilisi and Moscow.
The government says it cannot risk provoking Russia, which is an important trade partner.
But opponents say it has a moral responsibility to back Ukraine, and draw closer to the European Union.
Al Jazeera’s Robin Forestier-Walker reports from Tbilisi.
