Original Note:
Russia is still occupying a part of Georgia after their invasion in 2008. Urging the crowd to accept a Russian as their "brother" which is in itself an old USSR propaganda term (to indicate the hierarchy and implied subjugation), is locally considered offensive. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/16/booing-and-walkouts-after-the-killers-tell-georgia-audience-russian-is-their-brother
