Russia’s ongoing occupation of 20 percent of Georgia’s territory, and borderization, undermines Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to the U.S. Embassy in Georgia

"Ambassador Dunnigan joined Deputy Head of Mission Tibor Kozma and EUMM monitors on a patrol to the Administrative Boundary Line at Tvaurebi, Odzisi, and Goraka. She heard about EUMM’s efforts to enhance Georgia’s security and to support people living within this conflict-affected area.

The United States continues to call on Russia to uphold its commitments in the 2008 ceasefire agreement and UN Charter," the U.S. Embassy said.
