Giorgi Mosiashvili, who was illegally detained by Russian occupation forces, has been released and returned to Georgian-controlled territory, the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) announced.

His release was secured through the hotline mechanism involving the EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM) and close coordination with international partners. The case was also addressed at IPRM meetings and the Geneva International Discussions.

The SSSG emphasized that efforts continue to secure the release of all Georgian citizens held in occupied territories, and held Russian occupation forces fully responsible for actions along the occupation line.
