Statement by Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna on the 15th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Georgia

07.08.2023 | 11:30

Today marks 15 years since Russia’s military attack on Georgia. As a result, Russia still occupies integral parts of Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The terrorist regime of Russia has long shown a systematic disregard for the principle of territorial integrity, which underpins international law. Georgia is a victim of this regime and Russia’s brutal war of conquest in Ukraine is yet another example of this.

Having repeatedly experienced Russian occupation throughout history, Estonia stands for making sure Russia’s grave violations of international law in Georgia are not forgotten. We call on other countries to find solutions that would help Georgia restore full control over all of its territory.
