In a statement, the Donald Trump administration said the United States was monitoring reports of military buildup near the administrative boundary line (ABL) of the Russian-occupied Georgian region of South Ossetia.
“We call on all sides to avoid escalation and work through the European Monitoring Mission hotline and the Geneva International Discussion Co-Chairs to resolve the situation.
“Further, we call on the Russian Federation to utilize all available channels to prevent further escalation of the situation along the ABL,” the statement read.
