Abstract
- After the August 2008 war between Russia and Georgia, Moscow recognized the independence of the separatist regions of Georgia - Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region. After the recognition, Moscow pursued relations with both regions, which Georgia considers to be occupied by Russia, as those with equal states. Moscow took into account the sentiments of the local population and the political elite in the occupied regions, especially in Abkhazia, and refrained from intense pressure. However, after the start of Russia's full-scale military aggression in Ukraine in 2022, Moscow's attitude has changed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
