Russian frontiersmen intend to take all legal actions against vessels violating Abkhazian territorial waters; Georgia is not an exception, said Gen. Maj. Yuri Zviryk, head of Abkhazian branch, Russian FSB Frontier Service.

"We're going to act in accordance with Russian legislation and Abkhazian laws related to status and defense of state border as well as use of arms. Nothing new, all complies with legislation", said Zviryk answering question about frontiersmen's actions in case of Georgian vessels illegally enter territorial waters of Abkhazia.
