The Georgian State Security Service has reported on May 16 that Russian occupying forces are carrying out the process of illegal “borderization” on the dividing line between Abkhazia and Georgia proper adjacent to the villages of Saberio and Pakhulani.

The State Security Service told Civil.ge that the occupying forces are renewing the barbed wires erected earlier, in addition to raising “illegal installations.”

It said the hotline has been activated and the EU Monitoring Mission has been informed over illegal actions of Russian occupying forces.

“Illegal ‘borderization’ significantly damages the security situation on the ground” and adds to the hardships experienced by the local population, noted the State Security Service.
