Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must follow the LLM translation guideline, revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia. Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article. You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Ukrainian Wikipedia article at [[:uk:Георгій Шалвович Габунія]]; see its history for attribution.

Giorgi Gabunia (Georgian: გიორგი გაბუნია, [ɡiˈɔrɡi ɡɑˈbunjɑ], born 28 July 1975) is a Georgian journalist and host, son of Georgian actor and host Julieta Vashakmadze. He was the News Host of Rustavi 2 and Mtavari Arkhi and he was the Director General of Mtavari Arkhi.

Currently he was host of program "P.S." January 2017-July 2019 on Rustavi 2 and "Post Factum" September 2019-May 2022 on Mtavari Arkhi.

On 7 July 2019, during the Gavrilov's Night rallies, instead of delivering the standard Georgian-language introduction to his program, he addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russian, delivering a profanity-laced speech.

The State Security Service of Georgia announced the arrest of a Russian citizen on 15 July 2020 for an assassination attempt on Giorgi Gabunia, who had insulted Putin in past. Georgian media and Gabunia's boss later claimed the assassin was sent by Ramzan Kadyrov, who denied the allegations and said that if he had sent someone to kill, they would succeed. Kadyrov called Gabunia his enemy and said that he should beg for forgiveness by getting down on his knees, otherwise he would continue to remain one. Georgian authorities have not confirmed or denied the allegations against Kadyrov.
