The State Security Service of Georgia (SSG) is responding to a screenshot of a map published by Ukraine’s military intelligence, on which Georgia is marked as a location where networks of Russian Armed Forces’ communication terminals are allegedly deployed.
The SSG states that this information is incorrect and that it is currently trying to determine why such information was released.
“Incorrect information is being circulated, as if based on Ukrainian intelligence materials – there are networks of special secure communication terminals of the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces on the territory of Georgia.
For its part, we have not received any such information from Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service either. In its published statement, the Ukrainian side indicated the existence of such networks near Ukraine, on the front line, and on the African continent.
At the same time, the location shown in the photo released together with the statement left room for misinterpretation regarding Georgia, different from what was stated in their official text.
We are proactively trying to determine what caused the dissemination of material that differs from their own statement,” the SSG’s announcement reads.
Yesterday, on November 29, Ukraine’s military intelligence published information stating that units of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, using technical intelligence methods, identified networks of special protected communication terminals of the Russian Armed Forces on the front line near Ukraine and on the African continent.
Ukraine’s military intelligence attached two photo screenshots to this information, showing the locations where, according to their intelligence, the Russian army’s communication terminals are situated.
In one of the two screenshots, Georgia is marked in red.
