Russia establishes smuggling channels to supply goods from the sanctions list through the territory of Georgia.
The department recalled that due to the introduction of international sanctions, Russia has lost the ability to supply a large number of military, dual-use and civilian goods.
To circumvent the sanctions, Russian agents are establishing smuggling channels that pass, in particular, through the territory of Georgia. At the same time, representatives of the Georgian special services received instructions from the political leadership not to interfere with the activities of smugglers, the intelligence report says.
The GUR adds that they have now established that one channel for the supply of military goods to the Russian Federation through East Asia. The invaders transport spare parts for equipment, electronics and optical devices to them.
Intelligence also established that the possibility of resuming air traffic between Georgia and Russia is now being considered.
