The published 2025 report by the State Security Service of Georgia is further proof of Georgia's inability to distance itself from the ideological dogmas of the past and objectively assess the current geopolitical realities. The document is a collection of decades-old politicized clichés and propaganda tropes aimed at discrediting of the sovereignty of the Republic of Abkhazia and deliberately distorting of the true causes of ongoing regional instability. The Georgian side continues to peddle the untenable thesis of "occupation," deliberately ignoring of the fact that relations between Sukhumi and Moscow are a full-fledged interstate partnership based on the free expression of the will of the Abkhaz people and their right to self-determination.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia has taken note of the statement by Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson regarding the consequences of Georgia's accession to the European Union and shares Russia's position on the consequences of Georgia's accession to the EU.
On April 19, 2026, the Russian Federation will observe a new commemorative date for the first time: Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia expresses its deepest and sincere condolences in connection with the tragic consequences of the massive floods that struck the Republic of Dagestan, Russian Federation.
We cannot ignore the video material actively circulating online by Archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, containing his speech and assessments of the situation of the Abkhaz Orthodox Church.
In connection with the recent statement by Irakli Kobakhidze, Georgian Prime Minister which stated that "on March 31, 1991, a nationwide referendum was held in which all of Georgia—including the population of Abkhazia and Samachablo—unanimously, before the eyes of the entire world, voted for the sovereign future of the country," we consider it necessary to provide a comprehensive legal and historical clarification.
Due to the escalating situation in the Middle East, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia calls on citizens of the Republic of Abkhazia in Middle Eastern countries to take precautions, maintain contact with relatives, and inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia about their location.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia is closely monitoring the situation surrounding the detention and subsequent arrest of Irakli Bzhinava, a citizen of the Republic of Abkhazia in the Russian Federation and is taking the necessary measures to clarify the situation with the Russian
authorities.
In view of the previous statement by Mr. Mamuka Mdinaradze and the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' post on social media, we deem it necessary to highlight that attempts by certain representatives of the Georgian political spectrum to interpret international processes based on their own political expectations do not objectively reflect the prevailing regional and international realities.
