The two sides discussed the current situation in the separatists territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia

Georgian sources said that Prime Minister Kvirikashvili expressed his regret that despite the Georgian government's peaceful policy and efforts to promote reconciliation and confidence-building between , Russia has been intensifying the isolation of the territories and continues to take steps towards their annexation.
