The US Department of State has condemned Russia's redoubled efforts of ‘borderisation’ amid pandemic.
The US Department of State spokesperson has tweeted:
The U.S. condemns ongoing "borderization” by Russian-led security forces. We renew our demand that Russia end its occupation of 20 percent of Georgia, fulfill its 2008 commitments, withdraw its forces, and allow unimpeded delivery of international humanitarian assistance. https://t.co/Xdr8v1m2Bq

The US embassy to Georgia condemned Russia’s actions along the occupation line yesterday, stating that “over the past two weeks, these Russian-led security forces have erected unauthorised fences and reinforced existing illegal ‘borderisation’ efforts near 12 separate Georgian villages.”
The US embassy also responded to Russia’s continued attacks on the US-built, Tbilisi Lugar Centre.
