Russia Ratifies Deal With Georgia's Breakaway Republic
MOSCOW — The Russian parliament has ratified an agreement with Abkhazia, tightening its grip on the breakaway region of Georgia.

The State Duma voted overwhelmingly on Friday to give the green light to the agreement which puts Russian and Abkhazian forces under joint command and sanctions the joint patrolling of the border.

Russian troops have been stationed in Abkhazia, a Georgian republic on the Black Sea, since Russia recognized its independence following a 2008 war with Georgia.

The agreement that President Vladimir Putin signed with the leader of Abkhazia in November formalizes Moscow's control over this stretch of the Black Sea.

Georgia has denounced the plans for such an agreement as a step toward annexation, warning that it will jeopardize efforts to normalize relations with Russia. (New York Times).

Pact Tightens Russian Ties With Abkhazia
MOSCOW — President Vladimir V. Putin signed a treaty on Monday to expand Russia’s authority over Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia, effectively giving the Kremlin a dominant role in military and economic policy and making it easier for residents of Abkhazia to obtain Russian citizenship.

Russia's Latest Land Grab: How Putin Won Crimea and Lost Ukraine
Russia’s occupation and annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in February and March have plunged Europe into one of its gravest crises since the end of the Cold War. Despite analogies to Munich in 1938, however, Russia’s invasion of this Ukrainian region is at once a replay and an escalation of tactics that the Kremlin has used for the past two decades to maintain its influence across the domains of the former Soviet Union. Since the early 1990s, Russia has either directly supported or contributed to the emergence of four breakaway ethnic regions in Eurasia: Transnistria, a self-declared state in Moldova on a strip of land between the Dniester River and Ukraine; Abkhazia, on Georgia’s Black Sea coast; South Ossetia, in northern Georgia; and, to a lesser degree, Nagorno-Karabakh, a landlocked mountainous region in southwestern Azerbaijan that declared its independence under Armenian protection following a brutal civil war. Moscow’s meddling has created so-called frozen conflicts in these states, in which the splinter territories remain beyond the control of the central governments and the local de facto authorities enjoy Russian protection and influence.
