The European Court of Human Rights orders Russia to pay Georgia €253 million for its 2008 war.

The ECHR said Russia had committed violations including excessive use of force, ill-treatment, unlawful detention and unlawful restrictions on day-to-day movement across the administrative boundary line between Georgian-controlled territory and the Russian-backed breakaway Georgian regions.

many/ most Georgians despise Russian influence on #Georgia, but there's corrupt politicians and disinfo brainwashed morons as well

see also: #Hungary, #Slovakia, etc

and Georgia isn't a distraction from #Ukraine, it's the original template

Georgia was vivisected by #Russia in 2008: #Abkhazia, #SouthOssetia peeled off

the world shrugged

so 2014: #Crimea and #Donbas

again shrugs

so the full invasion in 2022

5 days of diplomacy, 5 days of deadly Russian attacks on Ukraine — Russia is turning occupied Ukraine into a giant military base — Today’s drone strike sparks blaze at oil refinery in Russia’s Rostov Oblast — [vlog/video] The ground drone revolution in Ukraine (Robots are Here) … and more

For 1st time, US refuses to join int'l condemnation of #Russia 2008 invasion of #Georgia and its continued occupation of #Abkhazia and #SouthOssetia regions.

Joint statement by 5 UN Security Council members & 1 incoming member reaffirms Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and condemns Russia’s “continuous provocations, violations of international law, and militarization”

#Ukraine

@maniajack Putin could learn from this. He could have declared that Ukraine would be called Russia and just forced map services to update the name for him. He has done it before with South Ossetia, for example.

@benroyce #Transdnistria didn't "break away" from Moldova in 1990 any more than #Donbas "broke away" from #Ukraine. #Russia, first as USSR under #Gorbachev, then as RF under #Yeltsin, invaded and waged hybrid war using paramilitaries and eventually regular army until they achieved their desired state of frozen conflict. Just as they did around the same to time in #Abkhazia and #SouthOssetia regions of #Georgia.
