The United States condemns launching of works to erect barbed wire fences close to the Atotsi village in the Kareli municipality, in southwest from Tskhinvali, aimed at marking the occupation line with artificial barriers.
“The U.S. condemns Russia’s “borderization” at Atotsi village. Installing fences harms livelihoods and restricts freedom of movement on both sides of the Administrative Boundary Line,” the U.S. Embassy said in a statement on November 8, urging that “Russia must end its occupation of the Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.”
