Georgia’s State Security Service (SSS) denies reports claiming that Ukrainian intelligence identified Russian military secure-communication terminals on Georgian territory.

SSS says Ukraine’s statement a photo published with the report led to a “misinterpretation” involving Georgia.
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) just published a map of Russian secure-communication terminals they’ve located worldwide — systems used by Russian forces to coordinate operations.
Tbilisi is on the map too. 🇬🇪
