According to a statement from the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the 65th round of the Geneva International Discussions, held on November 11-12, was disrupted by the Russian side. The Georgian delegation focused on Moscow's fulfillment of its obligations under the August 12, 2008, ceasefire agreement, as well as on ensuring the safe return of internally displaced persons and refugees to the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which Tbilisi considers to be under Russian occupation.

Georgia also expressed concern about the deteriorating security situation, humanitarian conditions, and human rights violations in these territories. The reopening of Sukhumi Airport and the launch of transport links between Russia and Sukhumi were also cited as a separate issue, as Tbilisi believes these are contrary to international law.

"As before, representatives of Russia and the occupation regime it controls walked out of the negotiating table during the discussion of the core issue—the return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their homes. As a result, as before, the 65th round of negotiations ended without results," the Georgian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze expressed skepticism about the prospects for restoring diplomatic relations with Russia. He cited the ongoing occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which he considers historical regions of Georgia, as the main obstacle. Kobakhidze emphasized that Russia's recognition of the independence of these territories after the 2008 war violates international law and infringes on Georgia's sovereignty. He also stated that Tbilisi is committed to exclusively peaceful means of restoring territorial integrity, ruling out the use of force.
