That is some serious Russian peacekeeping. Given the size of the Abkhaz population (120 000) it amounts to 1,6 million dollar per head. No wonder the Abkhazian wants to be a part of Russia.

Russia's foreign policy under Vladimir Putin has amounted to total, abject failure. Putin has provoked a new Cold War with the world's only superpower, alienated and polarized Western Europe with energy terrorism, poisoned its relations with former Soviet bloc friends and left Russia standing utterly alone in the world, without alliances or even constructive working relationships of any kind. Russia's only fellows are rogue regimes like those in Syria, Iran and Venezuela.
That's right!
