“Georgia said Monday Russian troops had killed a Georgian civilian near the breakaway South Ossetia region, controlled by pro-Moscow forces since Russia’s 2008 invasion.”
“South Ossetia has been under Russia’s effective control since the brief 2008 war after which the Kremlin recognised it as an independent state.”
“Detentions of Georgian villagers by Russian troops — who patrol the boundary between the separatist region and Tbilisi-controlled Georgia — have sparked international condemnation.”
“A Georgian citizen died as a result of shooting by the Russian occupying forces near the village of Kirbali, Gori municipality,” Georgia’s state security service said in a statement.
“It added that “another Georgian citizen was illegally detained.”
“Georgia’s president Salome Zurabishvili said she was “profoundly outraged by the Russian occupying forces’ fatal shooting of a Georgian citizen during an unlawful arrest”.
“She urged “the international community to unequivocally condemn Russia’s actions”.
“Russia invaded Georgia in August 2008 after Tbilisi launched a large-scale military offensive against South Ossetian militia who were shelling Georgian villages.”
Georgia was attacked and invaded by Russia in 2008, a war started by Russian separatists (sounds familiar? 2021 Ukraine).
Russian soldiers shot civilians, warplanes bombed cities and villages and cluster bombs were used.
Need more proof about why Russia must be stopped?
I don’t think Tbilisi is a breakaway region.
How many Russian fascists are in Georgia exactly? It sounds like a statistic three letter agencies could help with.
Georgia may not have the military for wars but people in their home territory have time and opportunity to make sure no Russian soldier enjoys retirement.
The puppet government officials are refusing to even say the word ‘killed’
They’ve stated that: “The citizen passed as a result of the gunshot”
