Russia silently shifts border hundreds of yards into Georgia


(MENAFN) Russia has quietly moved one of its borders hundreds of metres further into Georgia, according to local media reports.

Kremlin troops reportedly moved a border sign hundreds of yards further into occupied territory in South Ossetia last week, ahead of talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at the G20 summit.

Georgia"s security agency called the move "illegal" and said local farmers had been affected in the Gori Municipality.

"Georgia will use all diplomatic levers at its disposal to stop the creeping occupation," he said.
