'The idea of joining Russia is still popular in Abkhazia and South Ossetia,' says former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of the Russian security council
The deputy chair of the Russian security council Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow may annex Georgia’s breakaway regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
“It could quite possibly be implemented if there are good reasons for that,” said Medvedev, who has cast himself as one of Russia’s most hawkish political voices since its forces invaded Ukraine starting in February 2022. Although Russian relations with Georgia have improved since then, Medvedev accused the West of creating tensions around the country by discussing its possible admission by NATO.
