Georgia Extends Martial Law

Martial law, initially imposed on August 9 for two weeks, has been extended till September 8.

“As long as even one Russian occupier stays on our territory, Georgia will remain in a state of war,” Justice Minister Nika Gvaramia said in Parliament on August 23.

He stressed that the prolongation of martial law did not mean a violation of the six-point ceasefire agreement.

“Simultaneously with a prolongation of martial law, we remain committed to the ceasefire agreement, unlike the Russian Federation, which systematically violates it,” he added.
